2. In London, you can enjoy delicious food.
(Are both the same? In #1, what does 'in London' modify?)
3. You can visit many traditional houses in Chicago.
4. In Chicago, you can visit many traditional houses.
(Both are the same. In #4, 'In Chicago' is an adverbial phrase. However, in #3, what does 'in Chicago' modify? Is it an adverbial phrase as in #4? Or is it an adjective phrase modifying 'houses'?)

they are all adverbial phrases. They are all modifying the verb.
I guess syntactically they could be adjectives working on the direct objects, but I think the sense is clearly that the enjoying and the visiting are what is in London and Chicago.
