About Broadway In Chicago Broadway In Chicago was created in July 2000 and, over the past 23 years, has grown to be one of the largest commercial touring homes in the country.

Ranked #1 out of ALL tours in Chicago on TripAdvisor for several years, this small local business -- proudly woman-owned & operated -- offers customized, engaging, unforgettable experiences of downtown Chicago's architecture and history. Providing all types of tours, but specializing in walking, combo (walking + boat), and virtual tours that delight visitors with gorgeous, fascinating, hidden details behind many doors. Founded by a local whose experience as a teacher, writer, improv comedian, and tour guide combine to create tours that tell the story of Chicago in an engaging, educational, and entertaining way. Most architecture tours of Chicago -- boats, walks, segways, etc. -- present the city like an overwhelming, scripted laundry list that you'll soon forget. For us, there is a reason we are exploring a certain area, or following a certain path: the architecture that we explore is like the vocabulary of the larger story we are telling. We love to focus on the stunning interiors of buildings throughout downtown Chicago, but we also provide you with an "insider's scoop" on lots of the exterior architectural elements that most guides won't show you. Your guides will delight you with a side of Chicago you've never seen!

An immigrant from a small town–nestled in the picturesque, rolling hills of Tuscany–Alfredo Capitanini came to Chicago in 1924 with little money, but big dreams. He knew nothing about restaurants but was eager to work, so he took a job as a dishwasher and began to build his ‘Sogno Americano’. Just a few years later, The Village was born. Alfredo began his new American life as a dishwasher and ended up building a monumental restaurant paying homage to his Northern Italian roots with dishes inspired and adapted from his hometown of Lucca in the foothills of Tuscany. He found immediate success-opening his doors on September 20th, 1927 to a full house. Over the years, The Village constantly evolved, priding itself on always listening to the guests. Soon, the menu offered late-night fare and even breakfast omelets in addition to an encyclopedic array of traditional Northern Italian dishes such as manicotti, cannelloni, and chicken piccata, and eventually Southern Italian as well with chicken parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana, and chicken marsala. Four generations of the la Famiglia Capitanini later, The Village still stands, against all odds, as a bastion of Italian-American tradition, exuberance, and la dolce vita.
