Chicago, Italy
No tours available, unless you're cheeky enough to fill out a fake rental application (24 hours in advance), but these iconic twin buildings are worth a photo. (You might recognize them from the cover of '''Wilco''''s ''Yankee Hotel Foxtrot'', among many others.) Designed to be "a city within a city
," they include a wildly overpriced bowling alley and the '''House of Blues''' (see Drink below). If you like Marina City, be sure to visit the South Loop for two more of architect '''Bertrand Goldberg''''s corncob structures.
