Wicker Park

Wicker Park is regularly named one of the coolest neighborhoods in the USA! You'll stroll by all sorts of super-hip stores and restaurants with a local guiding the way. You can even pop in somewhere for a few minutes if you'd like. We'll also learn about Wicker's transition from immigrant hub, to a bad 'hood, to artist haven, to current hipster hotspot... Come see where the real Chicagoans live and play!
