What better time than election time to take the Chicago Neighborhood tour, retracing the path of our President Barack Obama from downtown Chicago, south on scenic Lake Shore Drive arriving in the acclaimed Hyde Park/Kenwood neighborhoods of Chicago, and including Grant Park's Hutchinson Field where the President gave his victory speech on election night before 250,000 people. Other highlights include President Obama and the first lady's former condo, a glimpse of their home in Kenwood prior to arriving at the White House, his favorite book store, one of his favorite restaurants, the spot where he and wife Michelle shared their first kiss and the much publicized outdoor basketball courts where he played so many pick up games in the shadows of the Museum of Science and Industry. Later, enjoy lunch at Manny's Deli & Coffee, acclaimed for its famous corned beef sandwich and another Obama favorite.
