Itinerary
Wicker Park is regularly named one of the coolest neighborhoods in the USA! You'll stroll by all sorts of super-hip stores and restaurants with a local guiding the way. You can even pop in somewhere for a few minutes if you'd like. We'll also learn about Wicker's transition from immigrant hub, to a bad 'hood, to artist haven, to current hipster hotspot... Come see where the real Chicagoans live and play!
We'll get off the main drags and see residential Wicker Park. We'll take a breather at the actual parklands, see the fancy Beer Baron homes, and talk about the neighborhood's connection to the great events in Chicago history.
**We'll take a nice stroll on the 606 walking trail, an old railroad track converted to a beautiful oasis. We'll also see St. Mary's of the Angels, a beautiful church with an unusual history. Lastly, we'll stop at Lottie's Pub for a classic Chicago gangster story (and maybe a beer, too!). **Bucktown is optional. If you'd like to skip this, we'll spend more time in Wicker Park.

About Chicago
Chicago is a Great Lakes city on Lake Michigan, famed for skyscraper architecture, deep-dish pizza, blues and jazz and a long lakefront of parks.
Chicago rebuilt itself after the fire of 1871 and became the cradle of the skyscraper. The Chicago River runs through the Loop, where tall towers rise, and boat tours explain the architecture from the water. Millennium Park's mirrored Cloud Gate sculpture, known as the Bean, and the Art Institute of Chicago, with its Impressionist paintings, are close together. Willis Tower has a glass-floored observation deck.
Top-ranked sights in Chicago: Navy Pier, Wrigley Building, The Magnificent Mile.
