Chicago by Day and Night offers a practical guide to the city’s at-a-glance entertainments, hotels, parks, and public sights.

This nonfiction handbook invites travelers to explore the city’s lakefront hotels, famed boulevards, and expansive parks while previewing the attractions that defined Chicago during the era of the great exposition. Read as a companion through wards and promenades, it highlights where to stay, how to get around, and what to see when exploring the Paris of America.

What you’ll find inside is a practical map of hotel districts, with notes on staying near the lakefront or the driving routes that connect parks to museums. It also surveys major green spaces—from lakefront promenades to West and South Side parks—calling out features like large drives, ornate monuments, conservatories, and the best routes for a scenic afternoon or a family outing. The guide also previews the forthcoming World’s Fair, detailing layouts, major buildings, and the variety of exhibits visitors might expect.

Concise hotel sketches by location and style, including lakefront options.
Guidance on parks, drives, promenades, and notable monuments.
Early previews of fair-time attractions, pavilions, and events.
Practical tips for navigating the city’s streets, boulevards, and transit.

Ideal for readers planning a stay in Chicago during a period of rapid growth and grand public entertainments, or for anyone curious about how to experience the city’s parks, hotels, and early World’s Fair preparations.
