Chicago is usually known for the bean, pizza, and the bears. Tourists from around the world know the city for its name and tall buildings - but what many tourists don't know, is the hidden gem that is Wicker Park. Wicker Park is a neighborhood in Chicago. Milwaukee Avenue is a street located in this area and is known for its trendy music clubs, record stores, vintage clothing and coffee shops, and of course, the restaurants (which are mostly vegan friendly). When I was sixteen I made my first trip out to Wicker park to visit a friends uncle who worked as a firefighter in the area. I was so shocked to see so many unique shops and beautiful art on the sides of the buildings. I'll never forget when we walked into a coffeeshop called the Worm Hole Cafe. The cafe has a dark and dingy atmosphere. Old Mac computers dating back to the early 2000's are placed on either side of the door and a large old mustang is bolted up against the ceiling nearing the back of the shop. People are sitting everywhere - in beanbags, couches, chairs either reading, writing, or doing work on a computer. If you're ever visiting Chicago, make sure you stop by Wicker Park.
