Chicago: Gangsters and Food Tasting Walking Tour
Overview
Taste some of Chicago's most iconic foods while walking through one of the Prohibition Era’s most fashionable and notorious neighborhoods. Learn about Chicago's world-famous cuisine and the gangsters who ate it all in one special unique tour!
Sample Chicago’s deep dish – as well as prime steak and the world famous “Chicago hot dog" all while treading the streets of Capone’s closest friends and dreaded enemies.
Highlights include a visit to an old tunnel used by prohibition gangsters in the basement of one of the establishments; a mansion once used as a brothel for gangsters; the Cathedral where gangsters were gunned down by Capone’s men; and a restaurant owned by the man who brought down what was left of the Chicago mafia in the early 2000’s.
