Food Scene

This Logan Square staple right on the square boasts a Michelin rating. It's popular, so be prepared to wait. It's worth it. If that doesn't work out for you, pop in to just about any restaurant in that same area and it's doubtful you'll be disappointed.

Parks & Nature

Walk or ride the 606 trail. It will give you a unique perspective on the city and the neighborhood. It's often compared to the Highline in NYC, as it was built upon an old abandoned railroad track.

Getting Around

Biking is my favorite way to get around the city during warmer months. For $10 a day, you can rent a city bike called a "divvy". This is the nearest station at North and California.
