“After the pandemic, I was itching to get out and explore the city, this book is the result of finding new things to explore in Chicago,” Milnaric said.

From Pullman to Rodgers Park, you’ll follow the clues and find your way to the nation’s first Black Art Museum and a bed and breakfast run by monks and more!
