Easily accessible via the Metra, Illinois' commuter rail system, and recognizable by its brick-faced buildings, Chicago Northwest offers the perfect setting for bargain shopping, delicious meals and plenty of entertainment .
Quality steakhouses
Chicago is known for its gastronomy, and particularly for its top-notch steakhouses. It is therefore no surprise that Chicago Northwest is full of good restaurants like Chicago Prime Steakhouse, Morton’s The Steakhouse, Wildfire and Weber Grill with its gigantic barbecue at the entrance to the establishment... Impossible to name them all!
The interior of Chicago Prime Steakhouse is tastefully decorated, and you can enjoy tender and melting steaks. The restaurant was awarded the prize of excellence by the famous Wine Spectator magazine: you will not be disappointed by the wine list. To meet the increasingly varied demands of their customers, the restaurant has also created a gluten-free menu.
The charm of Arlington Heights
To discover another way to shop and have fun, head to the chic neighborhoods of Airlington Heights. Located just before the Arlington International stop on the Union Pacific Northwest line, Arlington Heights offers a downtown area bustling with small shops, restaurants and performance halls. Stroll through the pedestrianized city center with a latte in hand, and admire the city's unique architecture, atmosphere and shops.
One of the major venues in Arlington Heights is the Arlington International Racecourse. This prestigious racetrack, which hosts the Arlington Million, is absolutely magnificent with its six-story white grandstand. You will be able to admire thoroughbreds while observing the spectators and their latest outfits... For a day, you will have the impression of being a millionaire.
