 One
of Chicago’s loveliest areas, Lincoln Park is a mixture of quiet
streets lined with gracious brownstones and dignified mansions. Yet
there are many streets supporting dozens of eclectic and alluring
stores that make Lincoln Park a haven for shoppers during the day.
Enjoy a wonderful array
of dining facilities from drop-in-and-nosh to seriously great
“foodie” eating experiences found at Alinea (the #1 Restaurant in
North America, #6 in the world) and others.
After dinner, enjoy any
number of entertaining bars and cafes, including Stanley’s Bar and
the Kingston Mines - a live blues club - not to mention catching a
show in any one of our famous neighborhood theaters including The
Apollo, The Steppenwolf and The Victory Gardens. The night scene is
lively and energetic, not frenetic like other hot spots in downtown
Chicago.
In case you do want to
visit downtown, it’s an easy ten-minute cab ride away.
 You
can exercise both your mind and body in Lincoln Park. There are
wonderful walking, running and biking paths, as well as lovely
landscaped gardens right along the lake. DePaul University adds a
dignified, intellectual presence to the neighborhood. Don’t forget
to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo, one of the nation’s oldest zoos.
Admission is free.
Also check out the
Lincoln Park Conservatory, an outdoor theatre, a rowing canal, the
Chicago History Museum, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, North
Avenue Beach, plus the Green City Market, the largest sustainable
farmers’ market in Chicago.
An A+ Area with Three
Neighborly B&Bs.
Tuck the idea of staying
in an impersonal downtown Chicago hotel away in favor of one night
or several at our accommodating B&Bs.
The
City
Scene B&B, for example, is an ideal urban oasis whether
you’re here visiting friends or family, on vacation or ready to get
down to business. It’s just your cup of tea if you want prepare one
in your kitchen or enjoy a hot, steam shower.
Check into the
Park Place Lincoln Park (Ame).
Built-in 1878,
this Victorian “Italianate-style” building was given a total
renovation in 2000 and boasts many great amenities.

romantic luxury,
Villa D’ Citta,
located in the heart of Lincoln Park and steps away from all that it
has to offer The Villa features large private suites, on-site
theater, hot tub Jacuzzi and sun deck. Villa D’ Citta is a true
taste of Italian Architecture and is a “premier” bed and breakfast
stay for discriminating travelers.
