If you are taking the CTA to Bucktown, take the Blue Line to the Damen stop. You'll find yourself at the intersection of Milwaukee, Damen and North avenues, the convergence of Bucktown and Wicker Park. For Bucktown's groovy hot spots, walk north along Damen. For more practical places, try hoofing it north on Milwaukee. From the west, head east on North Avenue.
Parking is difficult, especially along the metered main thoroughfares.
Try some areas off the beaten path, or give yourself the ample time to make several passes through the neighborhood. All rights reserved.
