Wicker Park

Enter an eclectic, art gallery-filled area that meshes artists, hipsters and yuppies together harmoniously. For those who love both upscale boutiques and resale shops, chain restaurants and mom-and-pop joints, dive bars and lounges, this west side Chicago neighborhood is your bread and butter. Wicker Park has long been a popular community for young, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants Chicagoans, but in recent years the scope of residents has adjusted to include families and older generations that enjoy the energetic youthfulness and quirky vibe. Wicker Park is teeming with fashionable restaurants bolstering a culinary scene that stretches far and wide, offering options for all palates and budgets. Tucked in between tasty noshing spots are countless retail storefronts, hawking must-have additions to your wardrobe and music collection. If live music is what you seek, Wicker Park nightlife is a hotbed of venues for local bands, national artists and record-spinning DJs to rock and roll.
