We really like The Emily Hotel Chicago. We've stayed a few times this year because the location is very near many great restaurants and bars. The hotel itself has really good dining and lounge options. The staff treats us very well and the rooms and beds are clean and comfortable. A great hotel in a really fun part of town!

Hyde Park’s Must-See Sights is going to the house that President Obama lived in at 5046 S. Greenwood Ave. After seeing the house, drive a few few blocks South and East and "go into" the Hyde Park Hair Salon to see where Zariff, President Obama’s trusted barber of over 20 years, works his magic. Also, they have cool photo of Muhammad Ali on the wall!!!
