Boricua! Just 4 miles west of downtown, Humboldt Park is a vibrant, simmering ethno-dimensional taco wrapped around a bustling 219-acre park. Historically diverse, culturally magnificent, with Scandinavian and Polish roots, Humboldt's now the beating heart of Chicago’s mighty Puerto Rican community. Suffice it to say, we’ve got it all: jibaritos, pierogis, ancient oaks, cold beer, cumbia, slow-pitch, good people.

Salsedo's legendary May Day parties, lousy with kegs and a thousand lefties, may be a thing of the past, but the vibe lives on.

Plastered over nearly every inch of prime space are vintage political posters, most printed in-house. The space is a veritable museum for the most significant social justice movements of our time. Maybe the revolution won't be televised, but it sure is being printed.
