Food Scene

Honky Tonk is awesome! The food is delicious, the bartenders friendly, and the crowd really fun. They have live music every night, never a cover!

The best. Born and raised in Mexico City, trained at Ke Cordon Bleu in Paris, how lucky we are that Laura Cid Perea calls Chicago her home.

Arts & Culture

A must see! Our favorite museum in the city! No admission free (donations appreciated), and it's a perfect size to see in an afternoon. Extremely well curated.

Essentials

Great grocery store and a landmark of the community. Always responsive to the needs of the neighborhood, La Casa was the first to import products from Mexico. The deli is amazing (house-made chorizo, yes!) snd they have a great assortment of “hipster” items too - great coffee, chia seeds, gourmet kettle chips. What else do you need in a grocery store?
