What a lovely area - unique little shops and an assortment of interesting restaurants. We had a fantastic breakfast in Francesca's Forno; right on the corner opposite the exit from the blue line station. Lovely staff, great food and atmosphere.

This is a great afternoon, just hop on the Blue El and go a few stops to Damen. Right outside the Damen Blue Line Station is Wicker Park central, with a pub on each corner and Damen/W North/Milwaukee with a few blocks of shops including City Soles on the corner of W North and Damen just off the El (advertise...

When I visited it for the first time I fell in love! It's a great place to take a walk, shopping or eat. It has nice stores, good vibe and great restaurants. It's not a touristic area. It's very authentic.

I went to Wicker Park Fest 7-28-12. It's an adorable neighborhood. Great old buildings, funky shops. Unfortunately most of the stores were closed by the time we went, and I can't wait to check them out on my next visit to Chicago. But the festival was a highlight of my short trip. It was crammed full of people, but it... More
