Chicago has one of the largest and most established Muslim communities in the United States, so halal food is easy to find — from Devon Avenue to the southwest suburbs — and there are many mosques plus prayer/meditation rooms at both airports. The CTA "L" trains and buses, on a single Ventra card, make getting around the city straightforward.
Getting in
O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
• CTA Blue Line — ~45 min to the Loop (cheapest, runs 24/7)
• Taxi / Uber / Lyft — 30-60 min (traffic-dependent)
Chicago Midway Airport (MDW)
• CTA Orange Line — ~25-30 min to the Loop (direct downtown)
• Taxi / rideshare — 20-40 min
Getting around
The CTA runs the "L" rapid-transit trains and an extensive bus network across the city; Metra serves the suburbs.
A Ventra card (or contactless) works on all CTA trains and buses.
Taxis and rideshare are plentiful downtown; a car helps for the southwest-suburb halal hubs.
