Lincoln Park

"Lincoln Park has traditionally been one of Chicago’s old-money neighborhoods, and there are still plenty of beautiful, expensive homes in the area. There’s also DePaul University which keeps the neighborhood young and fun. Lakeview borders Lincoln Park to the north and contains the smaller neighborhoods of Boystown and Wrigleyville within it. The two areas have some of the city’s densest concentration of bars and restaurants, and there’s always something fun to do here. If you’re more into bro-ish sports bars, check out the legendary Cubby Bear kitty-corner to the famous Wrigley Field Marquee. For a fun LGBTQ-friendly scene, hit up Boystown and head to Berlin to dance late into the night to always-excellent music. Where Wicker Park and Logan Square lean more toward the trendy and creative crowd, these neighborhoods lean more to business types, with large numbers of graduates of the big 10 universities around the Midwest flocking here. Both these neighborhoods run along the lake and the entirety of the lakefront here is all beaches and green space that make up the actual Lincoln Park. Along the Lakefront, check out the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to learn about local flora and fauna." - MATADOR_NETWORK
