Bagels, Pups & New Homes: Lincoln Park Is Serving Up Fresh Bites, Community Vibes, and Attainable Housing This Week
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Lincoln Park ·
Lincoln Park neighbors, your neighborhood continues to prove it has something for everyone — and this week's lineup of news is no exception.
First, deli devotees have reason to rejoice: Schneider Deli — the beloved Jewish deli born out of a scrappy spot in the Ohio House Motel parking lot in River North — has planted its flag in Lincoln Park with a much larger second location at 1733 N. Halsted St. Jake and Ariel Schneider's expanded outpost brings all the classics that made the original a cult hit: bagels, pastrami sandwiches, latkes, and a full coffee menu, now served up in a full diner-feel space complete with seltzers, beer, wine, and cocktails. If you haven't made the pilgrimage yet, now you have no excuse — world-class bagels are officially walking distance away.
On the community front, dog lovers will want to mark tomorrow on their calendars: Dog Days of Summer returns to Lincoln Common at 2345 N. Lincoln Ave. on Thursday, August 6 at 5:30 PM — a perfect mid-week excuse to bring your four-legged neighbor out for some fresh air and community connection. And looking a bit further down the horizon, neighborhood housing watchers will be encouraged to learn that CityPads has secured financing for a planned five-story apartment complex near North and Clybourn avenues, designed with smaller, more attainable units for renters of moderate incomes — a meaningful step toward keeping Lincoln Park accessible for everyone. From deli delights to dog-friendly hangouts to housing wins, Lincoln Park is firing on all cylinders. Get out there and share what you're most excited about with your neighbors!
