Information on Lincoln Square |

An area on the north side you must experience is Lincoln Square—thanks
to its history and one-of-a kind businesses! Located in the heart
of Chicago’s north side, Lincoln Square is a true melting pot
of cultures! It’s most known for its German heritage, but today
visitors to the new Lincoln Square will find more than just Wiener
Schnitzel!
