excerpt from Choose Chicago

“One of Chicago’s creative epicenters lies just outside downtown Chicago in Bucktown and Wicker Park. These synonymous neighborhoods are famous for live music and nightlife, chef-driven restaurants and countless art galleries — many housed within the Flat Iron Arts Building. If you have an acute knowledge of craft cocktails or an affinity for coffee, plus want to sift through records or thrifted threads, there’s no better area to sip and shop in the country. The area has become a prevailing influence on Chicago’s Michelin-rated, James Beard Award-winning dining scene, boasting some of the city’s most sought after tables. Wicker Park and Bucktown are also known for their palate pleasing nightcaps, like renowned brewery Piece and mixology tour de force The Violet Hour. Along North, Division, Milwaukee and Damen Avenues, you will find an unbelievable blend of vintage shops amid independently owned boutiques touting fashions for both men and women, and luxury home goods and beauty products. On the same blocks are nationally recognized names in fashion, and a mix of major retail chains that have also set up shop to satisfy the on-trend crowds.”
