apart of the Wicker Park neighborhood
among the first ethnic people to join the community were the Germans and Norwegians
the Irish were also a common group around the neighborhood
known for the diversity that it brings

4. So what do you do for fun?
Holstein Park- baseball fields, playgrounds, and one of the coolest swimming pools in the city
Flatiron Fine Arts Building- filled with art and history
Many different art museums
Shopping- many upper scale unique boutiques
Eating- different ethnic restaurants also with many pizzerias
Trail- the bloomingdale trail runs across Bucktown,and Wicker Park, popular attraction

6. Wait...where is it?
Bucktown is located on Chicago’s North Side, just north of Wicker Park, extending north to Diversey Avenue, with Fullerton Avenue and I-90/94 running passing through.
Hey, there it is, I found it.

7. How do you get there? From Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus,
take a CTA Red line train southbound,
and get off at the North/Clybourn stop,
the first stop underground.
To get around in Bucktown, there
are several CTA buses, including the
east/west 72 bus, to get where you need to go.

8. What did you do there? eat delicious food, obviously...
We went to The Small Cheval, a small burger and shake joint
The Small Cheval is a smaller version of one Chicago’s famous restaurants Au Cheval, whose cheeseburgers inspire hungry customers to wait in line for hours (literally).
We had burgers and shakes (their two specialities) and TOTALLY agreed with all the hype.

9. How this experience relates to Chicago
We ate delicious food and Chicago is known for delicious food...so…
But really, Chicago is known for its diverse variety and tasty food
The Small Cheval was very hipstery- casual with a lot of young adults as customers, but we also saw a mother with her two young daughters sit down for burgers. I think Chicago has a similar mix of people: we’re very artsy but also very family-oriented. And that’s pretty nice.
