The August 2009 issue of Chicago magazine highlights 90 people, places, and goods worthy of a superlative in the annual Best of Chicago.

If you're looking for the best tattoo artist, dog groomer, new boutique, or climbing wall, you'll find that and much more inside this year's collection of number ones.

"In researching Best of Chicago, we sampled great food, met interesting people, and explored new places," says Richard Babcock, the editor of Chicago. "We've compared the merely great, and figured out which is really the best. Sometimes it's a newcomer, and sometimes it's the classic, still performing with quiet excellence."

Chicago magazine is the largest monthly city magazine in the United States, with a circulation of over 175,000.
