Known as the “Gateway to the World,” Albany Park is the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in Chicago. From iconic theatre companies to museums, restaurants to parades to community gardens, our neighborhood is vibrant, alive, and growing. Families come here to take root alongside people who’ve lived here for generations. The small business is alive and thriving in Albany Park—and we love that. The story of Albany Park is the real story of America today.
Hotdog stands are rare in these parts but Susie’s is worth the trip. Voted one of “America’s 10 Best French Fries” by Food Network Magazine, check out the “Footsie Footsie”, a foot-long polish sausage on a sesame seed bun with double grilled onions and mustard. Or grab one of their famous shakes that come in 65 different flavors (how is that possible?). Open 24 hours.
