LIFE IN WEST TOWN

West Town is a larger neighborhood in Chicago comprised of several smaller neighborhoods, including Ukrainian Village, East Village, Noble Square and River West! While most of the area was part of Chicago’s original Polish Downtown, each smaller neighborhood within the neighborhood has its own charm!


Ukrainian Village is aptly named due to the dense settling of Ukrainians in the area during the 19th century, but while it remains populated with those of Eastern European descent, recent gentrification has changed the demographic in the neighborhood. To this day, notable ethnic and cultural landmarks include the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, the Ukrainian National Museum, the Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral, and St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral. Redfin named Ukrainian Village as its hottest neighborhood in America in 2016 (check out the full Chicago Tribune article here). East Village, like its neighbor, saw a large Eastern European influx, specifically from Poland, during and after World War II, but has also seen recent demographic changes resulting in an ethnically-diverse area!

  • WHAT TO DO

    • EAT & DRINK

      Restaurants, breweries, bars, and cafes are in abundance throughout West Town, with a large number of spots opening up all along Chicago Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue! 


      Check out Kasia’s Deli for some old-school Polish fare (and some delicious sandwiches). More of a beer connoisseur, with a little grub on the side? Chicago Avenue is home to Forbidden Root, a botanic craft brewery with specialties like the Strawberry Basil Hefeweizin, the “Drinkez Vous” Saison and Snoochie Boochies, with something for everyone’s palate, and Funkenhausen, where you can “wine, stein, [and] dien” in an uber-cool environment featuring food that “combines Southern and German flavors to create a soulful mash-up of cuisines, cultures, and memories.”  Try the big pretzel. And raclette. And ricotta dumplings. Or just bring a big group and get one of everything. Looking for a funky little place to hang with friends? Check out All Together Now – a restaurant, wine shop, and cheese counter with so many delicious curated cheeses and wines that you’ll want to keep coming back for more. Italian on the mind? Check out Piccolo Sogno or Bella Notte. Looking for an Italian deli with some ridiculously good sandwiches? Tempesta Market has you covered, plus they have one of the best chocolate chip cookies ever. Homestead on the Roof is the perfect summer evening rooftop dinner spot, with “literal farm-to-table” fare, and if the weather doesn’t allow rooftop dining, check out Roots Pizza located below. Weekend brunch spots include Flo, West Town Bakery, and Beatnik West Town. Sweet tooth? Hoosier Mama Pie Company makes some of the best hand-made pies daily, including classics like Apple Pie, Banana Cream Pie, and Cherry Pie, along with originals like their Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie & Chocolate Chess Pie! 


      Regardless of what kind of food, drink, or vibe you’re looking for, you’re like to find it in West Town. 

    • ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT

      Looking for some relaxation? Check out the AIRE ancient baths at 800 W. Superior for a rejuvenating spa experience inspired by the tradition of baths from Ancient Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilizations! Want to immerse yourself in the history and culture of the neighborhood? Check out the Ukrainian National Museum or Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art.  


      You’ll often find summer softball leagues alive and well at Eckhart Park! Head to Humboldt Park on a summer day – check out the historic lagoons and boat house, take a stroll the seemingly endless walking paths, or enjoy a Night Out in the Parks event on the lawn! Or, get some exercise visiting the many shops along Chicago Avenue, like RR#1 – a unique gift shop in a restored 1930s pharmacy – and Paperish Mess – a unique goods store and art gallery on Chicago Avenue. 

    • FESTS & MARKETS

      While there is technically no Farmer’s Market in West Town, head just north on Damen Avenue to the Wicker Park Farmers Market, located in the Wicker Park Triangle (between Schiller and N Wicker Park on Division). Markets aside, West Town comes ALIVE with some of the best Street Fests and Music Festivals in Chicago during the summer!
