Deep-dish pizza gets the tourist attention, but locals eat tavern-style thin crust cut into squares just as often, alongside Chicago-style hot dogs (never with ketchup) and Italian beef sandwiches dipped in jus. The city's Polish and Mexican communities also shape everyday eating, from pierogi to elote. Winters are genuinely brutal, so shoots and events build in weather contingency by habit. The "L" elevated train covers most of the city well; ride-share fills the gaps. Tipping follows US norms, 18-20% at sit-down restaurants. For the country baseline on visas, tipping, and interstate work rules, see /countries/united-states.
