Neighborhoods
Nestled just north of the Magnificent Mile and right by Lake Michigan, Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood is an extension of the glitz, glamor and wealth of a city rich with history. The Gold Coast is full of upscale restaurants, high-end lofts, niche boutiques, and award-winning architecture that will make your jaw drop.
Chicago's Gold Coast didn’t necessarily get its name from the gorgeous weather like California (though summers by Oak Street Beach are positively rich). Instead, the neighborhood's name comes from the wealth of the Chicago residents who first settled there.

This picturesque neighborhood is a nature lover’s dream — manicured gardens, a hidden lily pond, a historic indoor botanical garden, and tons of lakefront green space with sweeping city views. It also happens to be home to one of the country’s oldest free zoos and an acclaimed dining scene that includes one of the best restaurants on the planet.
Insider tips
What really sets Lincoln Park apart is the area’s namesake park. That’s where you’ll find lushly landscaped grounds, the Lakefront Trail, Lincoln Park Zoo, Lincoln Park Conservatory, North Avenue Beach, Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, Chicago History Museum, Nature Boardwalk, Farm in the Zoo, Theater on the Lake — there’s enough here to spend an entire day (or weekend, or week) exploring.

It’s the birthplace of modern American improv, where you’ll find one of the world’s most legendary comedy clubs. We also love Old Town for its vintage charm, beautiful boutiques, and late-night buzz.
Insider tips
Old Town is home to comedy star-maker The Second City, which introduced the world to Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Key & Peele, John Belushi, Jane Lynch, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and…well, you get the picture. You can catch a live show every night of the week, featuring the city’s top up-and-coming talent.
But Second City isn’t the only reason to explore here. This historic neighborhood is a picture-perfect place to shop on-trend boutiques, dine at historic restaurants, and admire homes in one of Chicago’s most luxurious residential districts. Wells Street is the main drag where you’ll find tons of buzzing spots to eat and drink — it’s a popular spot for bar hopping with the younger crowd.
