Dining ranges from casual cafés and coffee shops to destination restaurants, while grocery stores and everyday shopping are close at hand. Galleries and nightlife venues contribute to the neighborhood’s arts and evening scene. CTA trains and buses, nearby Metra stations, and access to major roads make getting around the city practical without relying solely on a car.
