Things To Do In Chicago

Hot Blocks: Roscoe Village

A village within the city, Roscoe Village may appear to be a quiet little neighborhood, but looks can be deceiving. Past the tree-shaded sidewalks lies a myriad of unique shops, neighborhood watering holes and dining gems. Quirky is key in this hipster haven where residents and shop-owners march to their own beats. From kitschy to classy, Roscoe Village has it all.

Hot Blocks: Boys Town

Boystown should be self-explanatory, but as both straight and gay businesses--from boutiques to pick-up bars--open at a rate faster than most neighborhoods, sorting through the jumble can be daunting. And a blast.

The Chicago Rocker Bar

With all the nightlife hype leaning towards celeb DJs and outlandish sound systems, it's easy to forget about the less flashy rock and roll bars. Here are Chicago's authentic stops, and some that at least nail the look. Either way, rock is on the ticket.

Unearthing Uptown

One of the city's most iconic neighborhoods, Uptown Chicago continues its rich tradition as an entertainment district to this day. Whether you visit Jazz Age venues such as the Riviera Theater and the Aragon Ballroom or hop from restaurant to nightclub, you'll fall in love with this piece of the city's history.

An Oktoberfest Guide to Chicago

Chicagoans don't need an excuse to drink beer, but Oktoberfest certainly offers a good one. Fortunately, there's no shortage of authentic bar and restaurants to chug German brews, down brats and catch an authentic oompa band--with or without the lederhosen.
