Then and Now

Old Town Triangle refers to the quaint wedge-shaped area north of North Avenue, west of Clark Street and roughly east of Mohawk Avenue, where Ogden Avenue used to be -- like someone cut a slice out of Lincoln Park. It's such a historically significant zone that this section of Old Town neighborhood was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1977.

By the mid 19th century a substantial group of German-Catholic immigrants had settled in the vicinity north of Chicago's bustling central commercial port near the river, making the church the center of their community. St. Michael's Church began as a small structure on a plot of land donated by immigrant beer brewer Michael Diversey (also a prominent city leader who left his mark throughout the area -- does Diversey Parkway or Avenue ring a bell?). In 1866, plans for a new and improved brick church with a massive 200-foot steeple were underway. Construction took three years, but at the time of its completion, St. Michael's was one of the city's tallest buildings and visible for miles.

Unfortunately, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed all but the exterior walls of the church, forcing another reconstruction, this time topping the first in stature with a 290-foot spire. Located at the southern edge of the Old Town Triangle, the bells of St. Michael's can still be heard throughout the neighborhood today and the steeple stills rises up above the surrounding buildings with the clock faces on each side a glowing beacon for Old Town residents. The church remains an important and involved part of the community, hosting festivals, weddings, organized social gatherings, and outreach programs, in addition to holding mass every day of the week.

While life in Old Town in the 1800s may have centered about a strong connection to the church and religious commitments, a viable business district was going up along Clark Street fueled by the large number of German immigrants who set up shop here. The region took on a distinctly Bavarian feel with several breweries (serving German ales, of course) making an appearance as well. Much of the neighborhood's population was working-class at this time and subsequently their homes were simple structures resembling one-story cottages. These small rectangular houses typically had front-facing gabled roofs with ornate window frames and wood siding. In fact, the Old Town Triangle is now unique for the wood worker's-style cottages that are tucked in among brick row-houses and walkups as the architectural character of these edifices predates the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, after which a citywide ordinance was instated that prevented building with combustible material -- like wood.

With such history, the name Old Town certainly fits, but it wasn't always called Old Town. It actually didn't get that name until the 1940s, when residents began hosting an annual art fair called the "Old Town Holiday." The name caught on and in 1948, the Old Town Triangle Association (OTTA) was formed as a community preservation initiative. In 1950, the association held its first official Old Town Art Fair that showcased artwork submissions from the general public. The fair brought so much attention to the area that before long a judging committee was needed to select which pieces would be exhibited each year.

As new people took an interest in Old Town, the OTTA continued to promote the renewal and revitalization of the neighborhood and continued to hold their annual art festival. The Old Town Art Fair is now considered the longest-running in American history, and it's a tradition you can still experience today&one that happens to be our favorite summertime event.

Park is the Place

The area included in Chicago's Old Town Triangle is relatively small in size, which leaves little room for large green spaces and recreation sites -- not to mention residents have only to cross Clark Street and they'll find themselves in the 1,200-acre expanse of Lincoln Park, one of city's biggest parks.

Still, there are several community squares and playgrounds in the Old Town Triangle that provide local residents with peaceful spots for relaxing, walking the dog or playing with the kids. Bauler Playlot Park (501 W. Wisconsin St, 312-742-8798) occupies half of a block on the neighborhood's western edge. Established in 1970 by the Chicago Park District, the two-thirds-acre parcel of land has been recently redone with a raised woodchip-filled playground (offering slides, swings and jungle-gym) and also has a shaded grassy area with park benches and a walkway. The small park is often bustling with activity of parents and babysitters pushing tiny tots in the swings, watching their little ones going down the slide, playing catch, or enjoying the outdoors while their bundle of joy naps in the stroller.

About a block away where Hudson Street bends in front of the Midwest Buddhist Temple (435 Menomonee St, 312-943-7801) there is a tiny fenced communal area with a fountain in the center and grass around the perimeter called Triangle Park by local folks. Known as the neighborhood dog park, this spot is overrun with cute pups and lumbering labs in the evening hours (right around 5:30pm) when Old Town Triangle residents get home from work and take their pet pooches out for a walk. While their humans chat amongst themselves, the canine crew relish a few minutes of off-leash outdoor time, sniffing around, chewing the random stick and barking gleefully with their fellow mongrels. The mix of dogs that assemble here every day is amusing as pudgy pugs and tiny toy terriers follow around giant great danes and massive mastiffs. And trust us, these little meetings are just as welcomed for the owners as the pets because residents can catch up with their neighbors and get a bit of fresh air before heading home for the evening.

Real Estate

The Old Town Triangle is a family-oriented, relatively low-density neighborhood with an abundance of historic character. Because it was granted historic landmark status in the late 1970s, many of the buildings in the vicinity date back to the 19th century. Brick row house and stone townhomes dominate the residential avenues along with "workman's cottages" and three- and four-story condominium buildings, plus some high-rises along Clark Street. Due to the neighborhood's historic designation, most of the homes maintain a vintage aspect, but some new construction homes have added a fresh appeal in recent years.

With beautifully landscaped lots, winding tree-lined streets, gorgeous residential properties and an atmosphere that welcomes starter families, young working adults and long-established residents alike, Old Town Triangle is a desirable place to live, and as such, is in very high demand. The real estate here is split between detached single-family homes and multi-unit dwellings. Sharing similar prices as the surrounding Lincoln Park neighborhood, homebuyers will find a range of property values throughout the area that suit various budgets and living preferences.

For the most part, detached single-family residences are priced in the millions with a select few homes available for as little as $600,000 to $900,000. Generally, though, the three- and four-story private row houses in Old Town Triangle neighborhood hold a price tag of anywhere from one million dollars to over four million dollars. While their exteriors are Victorian in design, the interiors have all been refurbished and remodel with upgraded luxury amenities and elegant modern finishes -- so you get all the comforts of modern life in a century-old home.

Now, if you don't need four or five bedrooms, there are plenty of condominium units in the neighborhood that offer much less square footage, but are much more affordable. Studios start in the low to mid $100,000s and one-bedrooms in the high-rise buildings along Clark Street cost around $180,000 to start. There are also a number of one-bedroom flats in the older mid-rise brick buildings that are common in the Old Town Triangle, which usually cost in the $200,000s. Two-bedroom places run the gamut in prices, but homebuyers can easily expect to pay at least $325,000, although there are condos of this size valued at over $700,000 as well.

Living in the Old Town Triangle holds a special pride that ties neighbors together and forms lasting bonds. You'll see people out on their patios or stoops chatting with passersby, parents pushing their children in the swings at the playlot with other parents, and dog owners convening at the dog park with both their two-legged and four-legged friends. And don't be surprised if your street is temporarily closed down for a day in lieu of a neighborhood block party, complete with picnic tables, games, live band and lots of home cooked dishes to pass.

What's on the Menu?

Even though the Old Town Triangle is a predominantly residential locale, certain restaurants have been in the area longer than most homeowners, becoming community institutions that are as much a part of the neighborhood culture as the people who live here.

The best place to start is the neighborhood's preferred breakfast spot, Nookies (1746 N Wells St, 312-337-2454), where you can get a lot of food without spending a lot of money. This family-owned diner is a staple among the brunch crowd and caters to every taste with an extensive bill of fare. Of course, most folks come for their pancakes, waffles, omelets, skillets, crepes and seasonal breakfast specialties, which are all served up in huge portions and incredible flavor. However, the lunch and dinner options are just as delicious, so depending on what you're craving, Nookies has you covered. This place is usually packed on the weekends through late afternoon, and it's almost guaranteed you'll have put your name on a list for a table, but trust us, it's well worth the wait.

For tender, delicious, get-your-fingers-messy baby back ribs, we always go to Twin Anchors Restaurant and Tavern (1655 N Sedgwick St, 312-266-1616). It is in the heart of the Old Town Triangle and is one of Chicago's oldest restaurants, founded in 1932. Twin Anchors is famous for its barbecue ribs which have attracted many famous faces to the small, nautical-themed spot over the years. Starting in the 1950s, Frank Sinatra was known to frequent the neighborhood tavern, and the likes of Conan O'Brien, Joan Cusack, Martin Short and Chris Farley are all past and present patrons. Twin Anchors even had time on the silver screen: In the movie Return to Me (with David Duchovny and Minnie Driver) the tavern made its motion picture debut as O'Reilly's Irish restaurant. The menu options here are limited, but that's probably because everyone just orders the ribs which come with a side of fries, onion rings, baked beans, or pepper-jack creamed spinach. Just as the celebrities and regulars have already discovered, the warm atmosphere, beer selection and mouthwatering grub at Twin Anchors is one-of-a-kind and unforgettable.

This near north side Chicago neighborhood has one popular Mexican-flair restaurant that will take your tastebuds south of the border. Adobo Grill (1610 N Wells St, 312-266-7999) is a favorite choice among Old Town Triangle residents and visitors for fresh margaritas and customary Mexican dishes. Set in a trendy Latin-influenced backdrop and conveniently located next to The Second City Theatre, we always go for the made-tableside guacamole appetizer and a couple of "cocteles" before heading next door for a show. As you sip on your salted-rim margarita your server will wheel over the prep cart and whip up a batch of their signature guac, spiced to your taste, right before your eyes. It comes in a deceivingly shallow lava rock bowl, so don't be surprised when it's gone after a dozen chip dips -- every time we debate ordering another go round. As for the rest of the menu, Adobo offers a selection of beef, chicken, pork and vegetarian entrees flavored with a twist on the typical Mexican zest. Finish off the meal with a pick from the postre (dessert) list which includes tres leches, frozen mango mousse with sliced fresh mango and berry sauce, or a piece of traditional flan drizzled with caramel sauce.

Now every Chicago neighborhood is bound to have a prime pizzeria from which residents can order delivery and where anyone can go to eat out. For an intimate pizza experience, we like to feast beneath the narrow brick archways of the dimly-lit, underground dining room at Bricks (1909 N Lincoln Ave, 312-255-0851). Just like the atmosphere, the pizza is distinct -- thin crust, gourmet-style with untraditional toppings and clever names like Sweet Heat, which is chicken breast, bacon, diced jalapeno, smoked Gouda, barbecue-tomato sauce and mozzarella. But the Brickhouse pizza is their namesake dish that combines the zippy tang of pureed artichoke sauce with the subtle flavor of roasted garlic, red peppers and a blend of asiago and mozzarella cheeses. This price for a pie is slightly more than you'd pay for a regular old pizza, but remember -- this stuff is gourmet -- so we don't mind dropping a few extra bucks.

Best Shopping Stops

In the Old Town Triangle one street is home to the neighborhood's retail shops and boutiques, and that is Wells Street. Found amidst the restaurants are a handful of storefronts that offer residents a variety of unique fashion items and other goods that are always handy to have close to home.

Perhaps the area's most in vogue business, Eliana Lily (1628 N Wells St, 312-337-0999) is the brainchild of designer and Chicago native Elizabeth Floersheimer who has been in the fashion biz for years. Beginning her career with handcrafted handbags, she expanded her sights to apparel and accessories for women with the opening of her Old Town Triangle store -- named after her daughter. The warm, inviting showroom is stylishly arranged with samples of Elizabeth's signature purses (which are still the company's biggest sellers), elegant dresses and tops, feminine jackets, and beautiful jewelry. And if you don't see something you like, Eliana Lily is happy to take orders for custom handbags. Just choose the style, fabric, lining and handles, and they'll put together a totally original piece. You will have to pay an extra $25 on top off the purchase price, but we think that's worth walking around with a purse you know no one else in the city has. Also geared toward the fashion-minded, Fabrice (1714 N Wells St, 312-280-0011) boasts a chic collection of floral-inspired necklaces, earrings and broaches that incorporate bold colors and organic designs. This high-end neighborhood boutique is modeled after its Parisian predecessor of the same name, only the Chicago location widened the scope of the store to include exquisite quality handbags, shawls and wraps, in addition to exclusive bath and body products and home goods. From sleek silver clutches to trendy leather totes, the bags from Fabrice are sought-out by women from all over the city and have become a symbol of hometown high-fashion.

You may notice some of the stores on Wells Street have a certain organic quality. That's because the Old Town Triangle is home to a flourishing floral shop that provides the community with an array of fantastic blossoms and lush decorative greenery. A New Leaf (1645 N Wells St, 312-642-1576) specializes in contemporary flower arrangements and plant collections to complement the urban lifestyle. If you need to plan a wedding or are just looking for that perfect centerpiece for your coffee table, these florists can design a unique piece to accent any downtown setting, from expansive tropical displays to simple minimalist creations.

Just around the corner from Wells Street on North Avenue is a place your feet will gladly walk in to. Fleet Feet Sports (210 W North Ave, 312-587-3338) is a favorite for active footwear, supplying all the best in running gear and accessories. Using "Fitlosophy" the staff here assists clientele in proper sizing and selection with a total assessment that takes into account several measurements, a gait analysis, personal fitting and professional recommendations. And that's all on the spot, no appointment necessary! Not your average run-of-the-mill (no pun intended) shoe store, Fleet Feet also goes beyond the sale to help their customers put those new sneakers to use. They have all the info you need on sponsored city races and even hosts group fun runs and walks that begin at the store's Old Town Triangle location where you are welcome to store your things while hitting the track (well, sidewalk actually).

Night on the Town

The bar scene in Old Town Triangle is concentrated on Wells Street, but there are a few other establishments scattered about the residential blocks that are just as lively as the pubs on the main strip. So take your pick, or make the rounds and have yourself a ball in this quaint, yet happening near north side neighborhood.

Something about drinking a Guinness in a traditional Irish pub just makes it taste that much better. That's why Corcoran's Grill & Pub (1615 N Wells St, 312-440-0885) is our first choice to knock back a smooth, frothy pint or two. Slide into one of the booths and settle in for the night, or mingle with the Second City performers and patrons that come from across the street after the shows. With Corcoran's friendly atmosphere, fun Irish flair and tasty on-tap beer selection, it's easy to see why this pub is usually packed on the weekends. And the daily specials bring in customers on any given weeknight like Tuesdays' $4 burgers and fries -- who can resist?

For a change of pace, Tequila Roadhouse (1653 N Wells St, 312-440-0535) is an amusing hangout. Designed to resemble an old auto garage, the Roadhouse is best identified by the loud neon sign that reads "OK Used Cars" positioned above a much more subtle placard with the bar's true moniker. Once inside, an assortment of hubcaps decorates the walls, and actual seats from run-down vehicles give us a place to sit and sip our drink. The Roadhouse offers more than 50 types of tequilas to have straight up or try in one of their famous margaritas. As one of Old Town Triangle's after-hour bars, it can get pretty wild late into the night. So if you have the urge (and the stamina) to party until the break of dawn, you know where to go.

A couple blocks removed from the bustle of Wells Street, Gamekeepers Tavern and Grill (1971 N Lincoln Ave, 773-549-0400) is an old standby for watching all the big games -- especially Chicago's pro teams. With over 30 televisions including plasma and high definition, you know you can catch the action here, no matter how packed with fans it gets. We like to hit this bar for the daily specials like $1 16-ounce domestic drafts on Wednesdays and 10-cent jumbo wings on Thursdays (of course, you'll need a beer or two to go with those). Open until 5 am on Saturday and 4 am the rest of the week, Gamekeepers gets a pretty good after-hours crowd, too, so if you're looking for some late-night fun, this is your best bet in the Old Town Triangle. Also catering to the sports enthusiast when there's a major game on the tube, Stanley's Kitchen & Tap (1970 N Lincoln Ave, 312-642-0007) is a favorite watering hole among the neighborhood's young adult set, however, the famous Sunday brunch and make-your-own Bloody Mary bar is a staple for residents of all ages. With a stellar menu of lunch and dinner options (definitely try the toasted macaroni and cheese), Stanley's is just as much a viable restaurant as it is popular bar. And maybe if you're lucky you'll see the likes of legendary basketball star Michael Jordan, who stops in from time to time&you'll know he's there because the normally off-limits parking space right in front will be taken by an extremely nice car -- probably his custom-design Ferrari.

A recent addition -- well, re-addition -- to the Old Town Triangle's nightlife is Marge's Still (1758 N Sedgwick St, 312-664-9775) which is finally back after a major renovation and a long-awaited renewal of its liquor license by the city after the original owner's death. The revamped interior is fresh and clean, but maintains an old-time taproom feel with vintage decor and a large mirror behind the long wood bar. Serving up draft and bottled beers and a full-bar of spirits, this place fills up in the evenings and on weekends with a local crowd eager to get reacquainted with their reinvented neighborhood tavern. We'd say Marge's went above and beyond with a menu leaning towards the gourmet side and an atmosphere that begs a revisit. Situated on a corner in the middle of a residential stretch, Marge's is a welcome retreat from the cold winter days when traveling more than a block from your house seem ludicrous. It might be just the place to hole up until the spring thaw.

Showtime!

When you're in the mood for dinner and a movie, there's no need to head downtown to the expensive multiplexes&the Old Town Triangle has a cinema that may not be as luxurious, but will save you a couple dollars. Lowes Piper's Alley Theatre (1608 N Wells St, 312-642-6275) shows both independent films and first-run flicks in a converted stage theater. Matinees are $7.50 a pop while regular tickets are $9.50 for adults. Some of the seats may be rump-sprung and the screens might be on the small side, but the theater's shortcomings do little to discourage true movie buffs.

As much as we adore blockbuster Hollywood pictures and butter-drizzled popcorn, there's nothing like live action entertainment with an unlimited Italian feast included. Fortunately for us, there's Tony n' Tina's Wedding (210 W North Ave, 312-664-8844) at Piper's Alley, where guests are immersed into the craziness and fun of a traditional Italian-American wedding reception. Be a part of Tony and Tina's wacky nuptials and witness the hysterical antics of holy matrimony gone awry. You and the other "guests" will celebrate the new bride and groom with a buffet dinner, champagne toast, dancing and lots of laughs. Not your typical night out, this theatrical performance strays from the norm to offer an unforgettable evening that is sure to have you in stitches. And speaking of humor&

Probably the best known comedy theater in Chicago, The Second City (1616 N Wells St, 312-664-4032) has been one of the Old Town Triangle's biggest attractions for years. It's where many famous comedians got their start. Ever heard of the Blues Brothers? Well before they were on Saturday Night Live both Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi were part of the Second City cast in the 1970s -- in addition to John Candy, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray and Eugene Levy. The theater houses two stages where resident comedy troupes perform hilarious original sketches to regularly sold-out audiences Thursday through Saturday. Second City also runs student productions out of its third stage located in Piper's Alley called Donny's Skybox Studio Theatre. We laugh just as hard watching the comedians-in-training at the Skybox as seeing the stand-up pros on the main stage. But if you are set on seeing the experts in action, try to get tickets in advance because everyone else in town is thinking the same thing and getting a seat at this legendary venue is no joke.

Mark Your Calendar

Not that the Old Town Triangle doesn't have enough happening on a regular basis, but it's always fun to spice things up with an annual neighborhood street festival -- especially when its one of Chicago's most anticipated events!

Held during the second weekend in June the Old Town Art Fair (1763 N North Park Ave, 312-337-1938) draws visitors from all over Chicagoland to the narrow streets of the Old Town Triangle every year. Nearly impossible to miss (and you wouldn't want to), this popular outdoor festival is an art explosion charged with musical entertainment, mouthwatering food and a creative kids' corner. It's a chance to see -- and purchase -- hundreds of juried art pieces by nationally renowned artists. Weaving through the white tent-covered stalls, you'll encounter a diverse display of artwork that showcases everything from traditional oil paints to modern photography to mixed-media. But if you're like us and are just there to look and not to buy (the prices can be a bit expensive), you might discover some purchasable treats in the shaded food section set up with small high-top tables, cloaked in gingham tablecloths and single bloom centerpieces -- a charming setting from which to enjoy the scene. Local restaurants cart in loads of their signature dishes and the nearby Goose Island brewery has traditionally supplied the beer options, which are notably Chicago's best hometown brews. Come for the art, but stay for the live music that runs all day long, it's fun -- and a great way to meet your neighbors, if you can pick them out of the crowd.

Getting Around

Given the small size of the neighborhood and its proximity to downtown and Lincoln Park, getting around is no problem for Old Town Triangle residents. A short walk will suffice most errands or destinations within the area. And for going any further, there's public transit, taxis or driving your own car.

Most folks in the neighborhood do have vehicles, and are lucky enough to also have access to private garages and alley parking behind their homes. But there are plenty of car-owners that have to park on the street, which requires both a city sticker and a neighborhood zone sticker -- so make sure to check with the local alderman's office on how to purchase the required permits before leaving your ride on the street overnight -- otherwise you'll be looking at a ticket in the morning. While the residential roads are restricted at certain hours, it is generally okay to park there during the day, if you can find a spot that is. Plus, the busier thoroughfares in the Old Town Triangle often offer metered parking and some establishments even have their own lots where customers can pay to park.

Prefer to leave your wheels at home, or don't have wheels to begin with? Cabs are the next best way to go for speed and convenience. Taxis are everywhere in this near north side Chicago neighborhood, so just head to the nearest main street and flag one down. Depending on the time of day we've had to wait for an available cab, but never more than five minutes or so.

Besides driving, Old Town Triangle's location affords several public transportation options that get neighborhood residents from here to there. Probably the most popular is the "El" train (so-named for its segments of elevated track). Operated by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), you can get on the Brown and Purple lines from a stop just across North Avenue on Sedgwick Street. Both lines run downtown on the same elevated track (with the Purple being the limited schedule rush hour train) and will get you to the Loop in about 15 minutes. Both routes head north, too, but the Brown Line veers west to Ravenswood and the Purple Line runs express after Belmont, all the way to Howard Street in East Rogers Park.

The extensive bus system also provides a good number of Old Town Triangle commuters with fairly easy and quick travel around the city. The #11 runs up and down Lincoln Avenue and Sedgwick Street with stops all throughout the neighborhood and beyond. The #72 is quite useful as it goes east/west along North Avenue and is a reliable route to hip neighborhoods like Wicker Park and Bucktown. We also hop on the #73 bus a lot, which operates along Armitage Avenue at the northern edge of the Old Town Triangle, as it takes passengers straight to the popular Armitage Avenue shopping district in Lincoln Park.
