Guidebook for Chicago
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
