Northwest Side neighbourhood with deep German roots: Gene's Sausage Shop, Merz Apothecary, biergartens in summer, and a pedestrian plaza on Lincoln Avenue.
Lincoln Square wears its German roots openly on the Northwest Side. Gene's Sausage Shop and Merz Apothecary carry the old-world retail, biergartens fill in the summer, and a pedestrian plaza on Lincoln Avenue holds the middle. It is Chicago's most comfortable afternoon neighbourhood: browse, snack, repeat.
The full Lincoln Square food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Chicago food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
