DINING & LEISURE
Lincoln Square has a delightful combination of old and new. Lincoln Square Proper – the neighborhood's center around Lincoln Avenue – has a lovely heritage-rich feel, with a plethora of traditional dining and entertainment options. Some of my favorites are Pannenkoeken Café, Huettenbar and Merz Apothecary.
​
One of the most unique attractions in Lincoln Square is the Davis Theater. It's a century-old movie theater that was recently restored to showcase its beautifully vintage aspects, like hand-painted ceilings and hidden organ pipes.
LOCATION & CONVENIENCE
Getting to the Loop from Lincoln Square by public transportation takes about 40 minutes, and getting to O'Hare takes about an hour. Without traffic, a drive to the Loop or O'Hare takes about 20 minutes.
​
Lincoln Square is extremely walkable, especially central Lincoln Square. Most errands are easily completable without a car by staying in the neighborhood.
