Boulevard-lined neighbourhood north of the Kennedy with Lula Cafe at the heart, plus a heavy cluster of bars, bakeries and bistros around the eagle column.
Lula Cafe in Chicago is Jason Hammel's 1999 Logan Square dining room and breakfast counter, anchored by a Monday farm-dinner menu the neighbourhood books out.
Signature: Farm dinner Monday, Pasta with brown butter
Order: Monday's farm dinner if you can book it; brown-butter pasta with sage on walk-in nights.
Tip: Brunch is walk-up only on weekends; aim for 09:30 to skip the worst of the queue.
Daisies in Chicago is Joe Frillman's Logan Square pasta-and-vegetable dining room on Milwaukee Avenue, with grain and produce sourced directly from Illinois.
Signature: Cavatelli with ragu, House-made focaccia
Order: Cavatelli with whatever ragu is current; the focaccia first, while you wait.
Tip: Brunch is the underrated meal here. The same pasta program with eggs and patio seating in summer.
Diversey Wine in Logan Square is the natural-wine shop and bar next door to Cellar Door Provisions on Diversey Avenue, with rotating skin-contact pours.
Signature pour: Loire whites and Italian skin-contact
Wine focus: Natural wine retail and bar in Logan Square
Food: Charcuterie boards and rotating snacks
Estereo in Logan Square is the Heisler agave-forward bar that opens at noon with coffee, pivots into Latin American cocktails by afternoon and runs vinyl most nights.
Tip: Open until 02:00 every night. The turntable runs Latin and tropical selections from afternoon onward; tacos and arepas served until close.
