Lincoln Square

Inspired by the luscious aromas of the Lincoln Square Apple Fest, with notes of apple, cinnamon, and butter. Located northwest of downtown, Lincoln Square dates back to the mid-1800s, when its farmland was dotted with crops and flowers. Its population began booming in the early 1900s when the “L” train connected it to the city center. Today, the neighborhood is home to young families and a plethora of microbreweries. Visitors flock to the area for the historic architecture of Louis Sullivan and the lively Apple Fest that commemorates the start of autumn.  Source: Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce.
