Neighborhoods

Logan Square is the city's hipster haven, the place to go for the buzziest tiki lounge or all-the-rage fried-chicken cafe. Gastronomes flock in for renowned restaurants that pop up in modest storefronts. Wild murals splash across the area and give it an outsider's edge, even while gentrification is taking root. Puerto Rican stronghold Humboldt Park is the place to sample a jibarito, the local sandwich specialty, and to seek out retro bakeries and coffeehouses. -As plugged by Lonely Planet ;-)
