The North Center neighborhood hearkens back to the time when every community had its own butcher, tailor, blacksmith and, it being Chicago, a brewery. It can feel a little off the beaten-path, but rest assured, it’s well worth the journey. There are plenty of old gems that make up some of the neighborhood's best kept secrets & just as many up-and-coming restaurants & shops you'll be happy to explore.
