My kind of town, Chicago is! A world class city, Chicago has something for everyone. Its many diverse and unique neighborhoods are bursting with activities, restaurants, bakeries, bars, shops, galleries, museums, attractions and so much more.
Check out Andersonville known for its Swedish influence, large boutiques and numerous restaurants. You don't want to miss the European-style pastries and cakes at the Swedish Bakery. Find products that promote green living at Urbanest or a book by or about women at the Women & Children First book store. Andersonville's The Landmark carries distinctive clothing and accessories. The Spice House is completely unique. It's filled with hand-prepared spiced, herbs and seasoning imported from all over the world. When you're ready for a bite to eat, try Bistrot Margot for Parisian-style bistro dining or The Fireplace Inn for some succulent ribs. All of the Andersonville restaurants offer delicious food and distinctive atmospheres.
In Lincoln Square you'll find more of a German influence and eclectic shopping and restaurants as well. Lincoln Square is home to the Chicago Bruahaus and Huttenbar, but you'll also find restaurants and shops that cater to many other cultures. Try Barba Yianni for some traditional Greek specialties or Garcia's Restaurant for some Mexican flare. Cafe Selmarie has a cozy bakery and Sunday brunch. Gene's Sausage Shop is an old world market filled with imported foods, wines and beers. Unique gift items can be found at Gallimaufry Gallery, Hanger 18 and Eclecticity. Specialty stores include The Book Cellar and The Chopping Block.
