Conde Nast Readers Agree Chicago Is Their Kind Of Town

It’s a place sturdy enough to handle the nickname of “City of Big Shoulders.” Secure enough to handle the runner up moniker of “Second City.” And calm enough to wear the blustery title of “The Windy City” with pride.

And Chi-town has been named as the Best Big City again by those who read Conde Nast Traveler.

Yes, NHS Global Events is located in the City on the Lake, so we have a strong bias for the Heart of America. We just hope this ranking gives you a sense of why.

As our Meeting and Event Planner Kara Shively puts it, “A survey like this confirms what those of us living here already take for granted. It’s a welcoming city and is meant for tourism and events. There’s the caring and interesting people who live and work here. There’s the awe-inspiring architecture. The McCormick Place Convention Center and O’Hare Airport. All big enough to handle events of any size.”

The magazine itself wrote of Mud City (Chicago’s very first nickname), “It’s no wonder Chicago is topping this list again. A world-class destination known for its impressive architecture, first-rate museums, brilliant chefs, and massive brewing scene, it’ll take several repeat visits to get through your list of must-dos. Most people start with the downtown-from the Magnificent Mile, ritzy Gold Coast, and funky Old Town, not to mention the business-oriented Loop – but there are 77 neighborhoods to explore, where you’ll find cutting-edge restaurants, chilled-out corner bars, and, no matter where you go, some of the most pleasant people you’ll find anywhere.”

See, it’s not just us who believe this!
