Workation in Chicago: the essentials
Few American cities look as deliberate as Chicago, rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1871 and still a textbook of skyscraper design along the river and the Loop. Its 2.7 million people live on the western shore of Lake Michigan, with a long paved lakefront path, the elevated L trains and blues, jazz and comedy clubs across town. Coworking clusters in the Loop, River North and Fulton Market, with smaller spaces in Logan Square and Pilsen, both popular places to rent. Winter is the test, long, windy and bitterly cold from December into March. Midway is about 15 km from downtown, while O'Hare handles the intercontinental flights.

Chicago has a dense coworking scene, from chains like WeWork and Spaces to founder hubs like mHUB and TechNexus and smaller neighbourhood studios. Day and monthly passes are on par with other big US cities. Internet and cafes are good everywhere, and in winter an indoor desk is a must.
