"While it’s been a long time since anybody would call Wicker Park edgy, the neighborhood still has an indie atmosphere. The neighborhood’s bars mostly avoid frat-boy vibes, and people who live here are pretty likely to be pierced and tattooed, even if they work downtown corporate jobs. Wicker Park is dotted with beautiful German and Scandinavian mansions from the late 19th century, with the highest concentration of these along Hoyne Avenue going south from North Avenue. Check out these gorgeous homes and shop in the boutiques along Milwaukee Avenue by day, and at night make sure to explore the neighborhood’s great live music venues, excellent restaurants, and its booming bar scene that sees the streets crowded on Friday and Saturday evenings. For a great night out in Wicker Park, grab a beer and pizza at Piece Brewery and Pizzeria, catch a concert at Subterranean, then get late-night dive bar drinks at Estelle’s." - MATADOR_NETWORK
