"Humboldt Park has been Chicago’s Little Puerto Rico since the 1970s, but gentrification is now changing the area. The actual park that gives the neighborhood its name is beautiful, with gardens, a lagoon, wetlands, and ballfields that host some competitive baseball and softball games on weekends and evenings when the weather is warm. Touring the park is one of the highlights of the neighborhood. Don’t miss the Formal Garden and the boathouse, which has a great cafe with views over the lagoon and where you can rent paddle boats in the summer. A number of good restaurants and bars have opened here in recent years, like the wonderful Café Marie-Jeanne that has the feel of a small neighborhood bistro in Paris. Of course, you can still get some excellent Puerto Rican food in Humboldt Park — check out La Bomba for a sit-down meal, or any of the food trucks in the park if you’re on the go." - MATADOR_NETWORK
