Chicago Alone: A Solo Travel Guide for Women 50 and Over

Chicago, Italian beef and deep-dish.

Take a counter seat at Al's #1, spend a day downtown in the Loop, and eat at the bar at Girl & the Goat, with a rideshare for blocks you do not know.

Eat alone: deep-dish pizza, the Chicago-style hot dog, solo seats at fine dining.

See: Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Pilsen, Hyde Park and Oak Park.

Feel safe: lit streets like 18th Street in Pilsen, and the CTA explained.

Day plans, hotels by budget and honest safety notes. EPUB ebook.
