Chicago, we love you, but sometimes you’re too damn big. As much as we want to explore every single neighborhood in the city, it’s such a treat to be able to sink our claws into a couple square miles every so often, and Lincoln Park is the perfect place to do so. This idyllic North Side ’hood boasts diversity, ranging from yuppies to Big 10 grads. Snark aside, it’s home to some of Chicago’s best deep dish pizza, comedy clubs, brunches and cocktails—What more could you want?

Tucked away under the Fullerton El tracks, the DePaul Art Museum houses eclectic, rotating exhibitions that are curated with exceptional care. The museum has made a habit of hosting exciting exhibitions culled from the school's personal collection, including photographs taken by Andy Warhol and Jeff Carter's sculptures made from IKEA furniture.
Sushi has never looked prettier than at Juno. Oh, and it tastes pretty delicious, too—this is a far cry from your average, hole-in-the-wall sushi spot. The exceptionally fresh fish makes for maki your taste buds won't easily forget.
All other Chicago deep dish pizzas can take a seat; Pequod’s Pizza indisputably reigns supreme. The no-frills bar is smattered in Blackhawks paraphernalia, making the deep dish hotspot one of the most "Chicago" spots in Chicago. Pequod's signature pan pizza is incredibly popular, so be prepared to wait for a table.
