Holidays in New City

Bad idea — drunk texting your ex at 4 a.m. Good idea — travel. It’s time to stop making lousy life decisions and take a trip to New City, Chicago! If you enjoy meeting the locals while on the road, Chicago is filled with potential new friends. Around 2,700,000 people call this lively city home. New City is 8 kilometres south of the centre of town. If you're arriving via Midway International Airport, grab your suitcase, hop into a taxi and travel 7 kilometres east.

With plenty of the city's best sights close by, New City is a sightseer's dream. From the University of Chicago to the Art Institute of Chicago, you aren't going to run out of things to keep you on the go. After taking a look at those, you'll want to continue on to Sears Tower and the McCormick Place. For a better perspective of this lively city as a whole, spend time in the nearby neighbourhoods of Canaryville and Fuller Park.

Visiting iconic sights such as the University of Illinois Chicago is one of the best things about travelling. If you base yourself in New City, it'll be a piece of cake to reach. It sits just 7 kilometres to the north.

You’ll never be lost for things to do in the city centre. Navy Pier and the Lincoln Park Zoo will keep you amused for hours. You'd be crazy to head back to your hotel without calling in at the Chicago Cultural Center and the Merchandise Mart as well.

Head to a few cultural sites to gain a deeper understanding of the region. The Zhou B Art Center, the Bridgeport Art Center, the Nuclear Energy Sculpture and the Hyde Park Art Center are not to be missed.

If you've got a taste for arts and culture, don't miss the Smart Museum of Art, the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum, the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum and the National Museum of Mexican Art. Stroll around and if one of the pieces intrigues you, ask the staff for information about its creator.

Ask about any special events that might be scheduled before heading on over to check out the displays and exhibits at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, the Museum of Science & Industry, Chicago Arts District and the Willie Dixon's Blues Heaven.

What better way to finish a day's sightseeing than with something to eat and a live performance? Check the programme at the Arie Crown Theater, theatre on the Lake, the Provision Theater and the Court Theatre.

Whether you're in the mood to go for a relaxing wander or play a game of Frisbee with your friends, the nearby urban parks are charming places to be. Choose from either Chicago Washington Park, Midway Plaisance, Auburn Park and Lake Meadows Park.

You never know what truths you may uncover at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Robie House, the Oriental Institute Museum and the Glessner House Museum. These historic sites have their fair share of stories to tell.

Find out more about the region's spiritual dimensions at S.S. Peter and Paul Church, Greater Salem Baptist Church, Rockefeller Memorial Chapel and Bond Chapel. These places are worth going to whether you're a religious person or not.

Whether you're wanting to head along to a home game with the Chicago Bulls or the Chicago Blackhawks or hold your lighter in the air at a concert, United Center is definitely the place to be for entertainment.

"The staff especially the Bell people were super nice and always offering help and smiles! We loved the walk ability and ease of public transportation. There are several great restaurants close as well. Older historic buildings are harder to maintain."
