Bucktown
Bucktown
North of Wicker Park, Bucktown got its name from the goats kept by the area's original Polish and German immigrants. These days it's mostly a home base for a fairly wealthy population of young professionals and families, but evidence of its ethnic roots remains. For shopping—window or otherwise—with wares you won't likely find elsewhere, head to Damen Avenue between North and Fullerton. Fun restaurants and bars (many of them tucked along residential streets) keep things busy at night, too.
