Many people consider visiting these areas as their “best neighborhoods,” but they weren’t always so kind toward them. Here’s why this might be a better option for you.
Boulevard Northside

Boulevard Southside
Boulevard Southside is about 3 miles along Washington, Roosevelt, and Michigan Ave (with Broadway between them) which could probably double as the busiest street in town. However, this area doesn’t have enough stores to make up for the busyness.
Nevertheless, visitors can find restaurants such as Loyola by Dominos, Ristorante Sardo in Lincoln Heights, and Chubby Chicken at East Grand Boulevard and Broadway. Another interesting spot you can check out is Schroders Bar & Grill near Halcyon and Wacker. While this place might not be expensive in terms of food, it definitely isn’t cheap.

You can find a lot of good beer, cocktails, ice cream sandwiches, pasta, and even some snacks. In addition to this bar, you can also find things like coffee and baked goods at the old-school store in the Circle Lake market.
From there, head west
across Michigan Avenue and find more shops like Home Goods in Lincoln Heights
and Casa Bonita Bakery in Chinatown. When visiting Downtown, you definitely
want to check the famous City Hall and the main lobby because they both look
stunning.
Chinatown
Chinatown is another huge area of the South Side, but the difference here is actually quite smaller. This area is made for small shops and businesses. It is extremely nice to get into certain communities because you can easily see a beautiful little slice of America.
Also, Chinatown seems to be home to some cool hipster places, so you can see how much of a change of pace the space is. It is a very diverse place full of culture and events. One thing you can do is check out the original Chinese restaurant by the same name where Harry Chandler was born, then wander down to Liqin Plaza to meet the family of Harry and Sally Liu in the original building.
Cafe
Cafe and retail shopping are two totally separate entities, but Cafe is a massive part of south side life. In addition to being located right in the center of the streets of Bridgeport, Café is known for having big windows to keep the sun out, making sure the ambiance in the cafe is pleasant and cozy.

Also, Cafe makes coffee, tea, smoothies, and pastries. Since many
tourists come to Bridgeport to hang out with fellow travelers, Café is one of
the reasons to stick around.
Prairie Park
Prairie Park is located just outside the border of Chicago. The park has a plethora of lovely green parks right next to it. But none of those are nearly as stunning as Prairie Park. People might think that it is too large, but most of the green spaces are smaller than the ones located in Chicago. Plus, they are often surrounded by huge trees.
No wonder this area
gets lots of tourists every year. On top of that, prairie park is considered to
be one of the most picturesque places in Midwestern Illinois where nature is
abundant and you will likely spend hours exploring the parks, seeing animals,
and enjoying the views.
Skypointe Point
If you’re going up to Point Eau Claire or anywhere else near it, you should definitely stop and check out this point at the southern end of the island. Skypointe Point is a gorgeous neighborhood full of beautiful views from almost any angle. You can visit this place and take a cruise to see everything surrounding it.
In fact, when we visited Minnesota Point Eau Claire,
we had to drive back due to poor road conditions, so we visited Point Eau
Claire and enjoyed the view and had a cup of hot tea at the beach (which in
hindsight was a bit unnecessary but hey! We were happy). So yeah, pointe is a
beautiful place to relax and admire the natural beauty of the landscape.

It’s also close to Lake Michigan, making it the ideal spot for fishing (if you are lucky enough to catch a fish). Just check out the old school playground and try to imagine yourself getting lost in the woods and playing the game of tag.
Other attractions include walking through Centerville High School’s courtyard, reading a copy of George Gissing’s novel Good Times, and checking out the historic library.
Michigan Center
Michigan Center is a very beautiful place to visit in Michigan. It is a mix of commercial and entertainment areas. If you’re looking for something entirely different, then move away and check out this place.
Even though it’s still pretty small compared to some of the larger cities in the U.S., there are plenty of fantastic attractions for everyone to enjoy. Check out the American Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Park Zoo, the Art Institute of Chicago, etc.
You’ll definitely get your dose of culture and the feel of midwestern beauty here. Of course, if you plan to stay for a few nights, there is always nearby the iconic Pike Place Market.
