Ukrainian Village

This historic district is home to both old and new — century-old cathedrals share real estate with trendy cafes. As the traditionally working-class Eastern European enclave draws in younger residents, with it comes creativity in the form of forward-thinking restaurants, innovative cocktail bars and specialty boutiques. But that's not all there is — the spirit of Ukrainian Village endures through its welcoming accessibility.

Black Dog Gelato is the brainchild of evil dairy genius Jessi Orolo. They’ve since opened a second location in Lakeview, but their original scoop shop in Ukrainian Village remains a perennial summer favorite. The cash-only spot has an ever rotating selection of flavors (written daily on the window) including standouts such as goat cheese cashew caramel and blueberry french toast. Take a cone to go or sit outside on the dog-friendly patio. And if you’re looking to bring some home, they offer good deals on day-old pints (if you’re lucky enough to get there early).
