Lincoln Square

Lincoln Square is like being in a small town within the city. It's a blend of people from all cultures, ages and walks of life. A pedestrian-friendly strip brings a great mix of casual eateries and upscale restaurants, European-style cafes, independent stores and fun things to do like touring Half Acre Brewery, catching a new release at Davis Theater or laying on a blanket in Welles Park. We love it for its chill vibe, tree-lined streets and plenty of things to see, do, taste and try. Here are some of our favorites.

One of our favorite shops, right on the edge of Lincoln Square/Ravenswood. Alapash is a curated home goods store with unique odds and ends and a focus on terrariums, plants, scents and tapestries. And it’s just a nice place to be on a Saturday afternoon. They have a beautiful selection of air plants and succulents, with well-designed pots or trays to put them in. They carry a line of Campfire Incense and our favorite is the Siskiyou—it really does smell like a campfire. The hand poured Rosemary Mint candle is also great. We love everything they carry for our own home, and it's also the perfect place to pick up a gift for a friend.  Also check out the shop next door, District, grab some coffee at Groundswell Cafe or go for a stroll in Winnemac Park, just up the street.
