Food Scene

Close and convenient. Their Mexican food may not be 5-stars, but their horchata is to die for! A large horchata should be about $3, but it's massive and well worth the price!

Quite the trendy place for brunch. They don't take reservations and are very popular, so be sure to plan ahead if you want to stop by. There's a smaller room off to the side for coffee, donuts, etc.

A great hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant for those nights when you don't want to go far from the condo. BYOB!!! It's usually not very busy, but the food is very good. Most people carry-out.

Drinks & Nightlife

Great selection of beer, good food, and a very "Logan" atmosphere. This is just one of those places that everyone associates with the neighborhood! My personal preference is their Anti-Hero.

This bar has quality cocktails and often features live music. Definitely a distinct ambiance here, with dim orange lighting and a throwback vibe. There IS a cover charge, but it varies based on live music and possibly day of the week. I hear it ranges from $0 to $10.

Getting Around

Transportation to the city! Head towards Forest Park, not O'hare. The Damen stop takes you to the heart of Wicker Park/six-corners. Clark/Lake through Lasalle will drop you off in the loop.
