What is Chicago Illinois known for?

In my opinion Chicago is known for very few things that are truly original to the city.

-Historically:

The fire of 1871 which burned down a huge chunk of the city and during the massive reconstruction the first skyscraper was built in 1885.

The 1920s was known for a lot of famous gangsters.

...there's a whole lot more in history...

-food:

There is the Chicago style hot dog:

The hot dog rests in a pepper bun and topped with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish (often a dyed neon green variety called "Nuclear Relish"), a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers, and celery salt

Of course, you have the Chicago style deep dish pizza:

A buttery crust up to three inches tall at the edge, slightly higher than the large amounts of cheese and chunky tomato sauce, acting as a large bowl.

of less importance, but also original to Chicago are dishes like the jibarito, Italian beef, and aquarium smoked BBQ.

-Of course, Chicago has sports. Every big city has sports. whatever.

-Chicago does have a large amount of museums, but so do most cities. The ones that seem to really stand out:

The Field Museum. This place is the be all end all for American archaeological museums.

Museum of Science and Industry

Should I fly into Chicago Midway airport or Chicago O'Hare airport if I am going to downtown Chicago?

Both airports have excellent public transportation to downtown Chicago.

Either one really. O'Hare has more flights, but Midway typically has lesser expensive flights. I live in the far North suburbs, so Midway is farther from me, but I will often use Midway because of lower fares. I also find that Midway is a bit cleaner and more organized than O'Hare. This is likely because of it's smaller size.
