As the year ends and a new one awakens, winter season is still in bloom. During wintertime, there are lots of things to do. However, one in particular is visiting the main tourist attraction that Illinois has to offer: Chicago. As a fellow Illinoian, my favorite activity to do during wintertime is take a nice visit down to the city. Personally, the city looks best during the winter. With all of the beautiful lights and seasonal decorations, it really helps liven up the dull stereotype of the city. My favorite things to do in the city during wintertime are ice-skating, shopping, and visiting the state of the art deep dish pizza place, Pizzaria Due. By far my favorite thing to do is enjoy Chicago style deep dish pizza. If you are unfamiliar with deep dish pizza, it is a style of pizza which originated in Chicago at Pizzaria Uno in 1943. Deep dish pizza is made with a thicker crus, and the pan in which it is baked gives the pizza its characteristically high edge which provides ample space for large amounts of cheese and a chunky tomato sauce. If you have ever wanted to visit the city, wintertime is by far the best time to visit it. January is the best time to go adventuring in Illinois.
