Roscoe Village Businesses Earn 'Best of Chicago' Buzz as Neighborhood Kicks Off a Week of Wellness, Culture & Cinema

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Roscoe Village · February 21, 2026

Roscoe Village is riding a wave of community pride this week as local establishments have been nominated for 'Best of Chicago' honors, putting the beloved neighborhood back in the spotlight just in time for a packed calendar of eclectic happenings.

Residents looking to feed their minds and spirits had plenty to choose from mid-week. On Tuesday, February 18, a thought-provoking wellness workshop titled 'No Regrets: Rewriting the Past, Reigniting Your Power' invited neighbors to gather for an evening of honest conversation and personal growth. That same evening, the neighborhood offered a completely different kind of fun with a Mahjong 101 session — a beginner-friendly introduction to the beloved tile game that's surging in popularity across Chicago. Then on Thursday, February 19, Documentary Thursdays presented 'Cutting Parallel,' continuing the neighborhood's tradition of community film programming that sparks meaningful conversation among residents.

Looking ahead, Le Sud Mediterranean Kitchen keeps the momentum going with a French Bistro Dinner Classics experience on February 24, giving diners yet another reason to gather around the table in Roscoe Village. Whether you're a film buff, a wellness seeker, a game night enthusiast, or a foodie, Roscoe Village's 'The Village Within the City' spirit is on full display this season.
