Andersonville’s charming Clark street corridor will make you feel like you’ve been transported out of the city and on to a small town main street. The historically Swedish neighborhood has remained true to its roots, honoring the past while nurturing pride in the present. If you want to surround yourself with art, antiques, independent businesses and queer community, Andersonville is the place to go.
Wrought iron trellises climb the walls, while bundles of twigs float from the ceiling.
Svea is the spitting image of your Swedish grandmother’s kitchen. The homey blue and yellow diner is filled with love, grease, and lingonberry jam. Try the Viking breakfast or Swedish pancakes. Great for brunch with close friends, or take yourself on a solo date: grab a copy of the Reader, saddle up to the breakfast counter, and enjoy a leisurely morning.
