Wicker
Park and it's neighboring areas of Bucktown, East Village and Logan Square are
all vibrant, diverse neighborhoods. Wicker Park, known for its unique
cutting-edge boutiques, the Renegade and Do-Division summer festivals and
excellent dining - especially outdoors on the first warm day in Chicago everyone
scrambles out to sit in one of the open tables on Division Street. A great
place to just walk or sit and watch the rest of the world walk by you as you
nosh on great vegetarian fare at "Mana Food Bar" to meaty "Smoke Daddy's BBQ"
with a messy stack of ribs and sweet potato fries. The walk down this
dining section of Division is just 15 minutes from House of Two Urns.
Wicker Park was originally settled by Germans and Scandinavians and some of the Beer Baron mansions are still around just west of the actual Wicker Park, which has very active garden club and is lovingly landscaped and maintained by the community. North of the intersection of Damen/North and Milwaukee stretches into Bucktown and Damen is the main shopping street with more great dress shops and dining haunts.
