Then and Now

In 1868, this area of farmland and forest was bought up by a group of real estate investors called the Ravenswood Land Company. The company created larger lots and made a deal with a railroad company to open up a new stop in the area, promising an increase in riders. Upon doing this, the railroad and the land company set the rate high ($7.20 per one hundred rides) in the hopes that they would attract wealthier citizens to the vicinity.

Slowly, affluent residents began to occupy the land as railroads extended further north of the city. While many of the houses here were grand, fit for Chicago's high society, essential amenities such as sewers and sidewalks were not yet accessible to these upscale homes. It seems Jefferson Township, their neighbor to the west, would not allow the newly established community to run waste through their land to the Chicago River. How un-neighborly! So it wasn't until the 1880s and '90s, when Ravenswood, Lakeview and Jefferson Township were soaked into Chicago's expanding city boundaries, that Ravenswood's sewage problems were resolved when the city's waste removal system was expanded to reach those in this northern Chicago neighborhood.

As the elevated train (known today as the "El") was extended north in the early 1900s, the area became more accessible to citizens from lower and middle classes. To accommodate the new residents, small houses and two-flats were built in between and around the existing ones, creating a mixed income neighborhood.

Since Ravenswood's boundaries cradle those of Lincoln Square neighborhood, both communities shared in the growth throughout the years. Today, roughly a fifth of this Chicago neighborhood is considered a historic district as many of the original Ravenswood homes are still intact. Even the two-story apartment that was the home of famous poet Carl Sandburg still stands at 4646 N. Hermitage, where he wrote his acclaimed book Chicago Poems published in 1916.

Parks

The Chicago Park District has several parks planted in Ravenswood that all offer something a little unique.

Welles Park (2333 W. Sunnyside, 312 742 7511) is the busiest park in Ravenswood. Almost every sport imaginable is available to the public in this 15-acre recreation space. The park has an indoor-pool that is open all year for use by anyone in need of lessons or who wants to swim a few laps. Baseball diamonds, tennis and basketball courts add to the range of activities found at this popular neighborhood sporting and recreation site. We can even test our aim and have some old-time fun playing horseshoes!

There really is more to this park than green grass and picnic tables ... An established relationship with the nearby Old Town School of Folk Music (4544 N. Lincoln, 773 728 6000) offers music workshops (and even some dance lessons) for all ages in the Welles Park fieldhouse throughout the week during the summer. We have to admit, it is adorable to see a classroom full of tiny Ravenswood tots swaying, clapping and stepping -- all with different rhythms -- in an attempt to perform a synchronized dance routine.

Welles Park was established in 1910, named for one of Abraham Lincoln's cabinet members, Gideon Welles. A decade after its opening, Abe Saperstein became a community league basketball coach there. Why mention a smalltime b-ball instructor? Shortly following his days in Ravenswood, Saperstein went on to found the famed Harlem Globetrotters whose trick basketball moves and choreographed plays attracted a whole new genre of fans to the sport.

Today, the wide-open park is used by families from near and far. Concerts often take place in the gazebo, which can also be rented out for private use. Little league baseball is a common sight, as well as the rounds of bocce ball that the older neighborhood gentlemen traditionally take part in.

One of the larger green areas in Ravenswood neighborhood is the 40-acre Winnemac Park (5100 N. Leavitt, 312 742 5101). Apart from its soccer and softball fields, this newly renovated park contains a prairie garden and nature trail. Formerly a truck farm, Winnemac was annexed by Chicago in 1910 and is now owned by a partnership of the Chicago Park District and Chicago Public Schools. Winnemac Park offers many youth programs and has plenty of facilities open for adults as well.

In the northwestern corner of Ravenswood lies River Park (5100 N. Francisco, 312 742 7516). Visitors are drawn to the park for many reasons, but mostly for its artificial turf soccer field, fishing, and canoe launch. Efforts to clean up the Chicago River are ongoing, allowing River Park visitors to have a more pleasant experience while they fish along the banks or canoe down the tree-lined waters. On the opposite north end of Ravenswood is Chase Park (4701 N. Ashland, 312 742 7518). Once a semi-professional baseball field, the park has been fitted to host tennis, swimming, basketball and more. Along with the available fitness facilities, Chase has an auditorium where local residents hold plays.

Real Estate

Ravenswood is a diverse area for Chicago real estate. Traversing through the mainly residential neighborhood, one finds Ravenswood condos and single-family homes to be easy on the eye. The architecture is a mixture of very old and very new -- and all very beautiful. Due to a lot of rehabbing by residents over the years, Ravenswood homes have been able to stay at a high value and continue to rise. The neighborhood has larger lots than most Chicago neighborhoods because of the city's zoning permits, and residents take comfort in the fact that the level of congestion is low and the noise rather minimal.

One-bedroom condominium units here range between $150,000 and $250,000. A two-bedroom place averages around $300,000 for a condo or flat and in the low $400,000s for a single-family home. Of course some of the colossal mansions that still gloriously stand can go for over $1 million. Coinciding with its rich culture and peaceful streets, Ravenswood is only minutes from Lake Michigan and Wrigley Field, while a ride on the Brown Line "El" conveniently accommodates residents heading downtown.

What's on the Menu?

The quality and diversity in cuisine found in this Chicago neighborhood certainly add to Ravenswood's standing as a prominent culinary setting -- especially when your tummy starts to rumble.

For romantic dinners, Bistro Campagne (4518 N. Lincoln, 773 271 6100) is a Ravenswood favorite. This newly established Parisian restaurant puts detail into its menu and its service. The chef seeks out the best organic ingredients from Midwestern farms throughout the growing season, until winter rolls around when the restaurant imports fresh products from the west coast in order to maintain the high standard Bistro Campagne patrons have come to expect. The gorgeous outdoor garden is perfect for enjoying a glass of white wine with a plate of their specialty mustard-crusted salmon.

When we're in the mood for raw fish, we can find sushi close by at Tank (4514 N. Lincoln, 773 769 2600). The Tropic Thunder roll, which consists of yellowtail tuna, mushrooms and wasabi mayo, is our number one choice off their menu. And, if we want to stay in for dinner but still have a craving for sushi, Tank delivers. For other Asian cuisine in Ravenswood, Fishpond (4416 N. Clark, 773 271 1119) offers hard to find Filipino dining, while Aroy Thai (4654 N. Damen, 773 275 8360) serves up a yummy duck stir-fry with basil leaves.

For Mexican food with a French twist, our top pick in Ravenswood would have to be Dorado (2301 W. Foster, 773 561 3780). Nachos are good everywhere, but this upscale establishment does them better than most and that's just the beginning. Dishes like crab encrusted salmon and grilled pork tenderloin with Cajun sweet potatoes are popular picks, and the intimate and colorful setting is a great place to bring a date.

Lucky for us, Chicago neighborhoods make it easy to find good pizza places. A couple worth mentioning in Ravenswood would be Stefano's Home of the Stuffed Pizza (2124 W. Lawrence, 773 271 9696) and Ranalli's Up North (1522 W. Montrose, 773 506 8800). Both have much more to their menus than fabulous pizza, but every time we go, it's hard to resist ordering a pie. For lunch, Stefano's has a special price on their baby stuffed pizza, which is still more than enough to keep you going 'til dinnertime. They also make a heart-shaped pizza for those who want to express their love in a tasty new way. Ranalli's, part of a small Chicago chain, has a large menu and a newly expanded dining room. Along with their pizza, they serve many other Italian dishes and -- to keep things interesting -- Mexican fare.

Rockwell's Neighborhood Grill (4632 N. Rockwell, 773 509 1871) is a casual joint tucked away on this mostly residential avenue. Its burger has won awards and been voted best in the city. The Bourbon Street tacos are also delicious and the wine and beer lists well rounded. Andies Restaurant (1467 W. Montrose, 773 348 0654) is a convenient place to reach for couscous and kebabs. The airy outdoor seating at this establishment beats many as it is well-lit and void of heavy foot traffic. When we're in the mood for a Mediterranean meal, Andies serves up some of the city's best.

Best Shopping Stops

Okay, by now you have taste of what the Ravenswood neighborhood has to offer in the way of recreation, housing and food, but what about the shopping?

Hazel (1902 W. Montrose, 773 769 2227) is a go-to of ours when it comes to finding a perfect gift. Finely designed jewelry and accessories are found in adundance here, as well as the gift card to go along with them. This Ravenswood boutique has received a lot of buzz for their distinctive products and has been featured in numerous local and national magazines.

Also a well received shopping destination in the neighborhood for the little tykes is Zozo for Kids (1920 W. Montrose, 773 506 6120). Parents will have no trouble finding unique English-made clothing and cool urban-inspired accessories for their infants and pre-teens. Sporting style and quality, Zozo's is one of the best shops around for outfitting Chicago's tiny tots and their slightly older sibs. They even have maternity wear for the trendy mother-to-be.

When shopping for almost any musical instrument we have to stop at the Old Town School of Folk Music store: Different Strummer (4544 N. Lincoln, 773 728 6000). Along with the standard guitars one finds at any music shop, the Different Strummer sells an assortment of woodwinds, ukeleles, and instruments from around the world. They have a bunch of CDs and handbooks on hand to help you get the swing of your newly-purchased music-maker. And in case you need a little more hands-on instruction -- the school is right here so you can sign up for a few lessons with the professionals.

For wedding needs, we look first at I Do I Do Wedding Accessories (4704 N. Damen, 773 907 8890). I Do I Do stocks a variety of jewelry, invitations, veils, garters and other essential bridal accessories -- including the wedding night unmentionables. The store has been ranked among the best for pre-matrimonial necessities in several local magazines, making it the first stop on the way down the aisle for many Chicago area brides-to-be.

When our dogs and cats need food or grooming, Ruff Haus Pets, Inc. (4652 N. Rockwell, 773 478 5100) is a little gem off-the-beaten-path. This shop carries only premium and organic pet food, such as Innova and California Natural. They offer their expert grooming services Tuesday through Saturday. On Sundays pet-owners can bring in their dogs and use Ruff Haus's equipment to groom their pets themselves. No appointment is necessary.

Golf fanatics can find a huge selection of merchandise for their trip to the green at the Golf Zone (4701 N. Ravenswood, 773 728 0123). A branch of No Limits Golf, an Illinois-based company, the Golf Zone shells out woods, irons, and hybrids for adults and kids alike. They aim to keep their products' prices affordable and performance high.

Even more shopping is available in Lincoln Square, a smaller neighborhood that is surrounded by Ravenswood. Find out what's there by checking out Lincoln Square for additional neighborhood information.

Night on the Town

Instead of getting right down to where Ravenswood residents go for nighttime fun, we'd like touch on a quick little bit of history first -- stop moaning, we'll get to the schmoozing and boozing soon enough!

The Old Town School of Folk Music (4544 N. Lincoln, 773 728 6000) first opened in 1957 on North Avenue in Old Town, one of Chicago's older communities. Offering banjo and guitar classes to the neighborhood, the school also held performances by popular folk acts of the time such as Jimmy Driftwood and Mahalia Jackson. In the late 1960s they moved their location to Armitage, in Lincoln Park, and continued their programming there for another 20 years. Old Town School was in need of more space and was approached by the city about the opportunity to use the abandoned Hild Library in Ravenswood. With the help of donors, Old Town made the move into the new building and held a dedication concert in 1998 featuring great folk legend Joni Mitchell. The building on Armitage is still used by the school, but it's at the new Ravenswood venue that concerts abound weekly. The auditorium seats 400 and is a great place to see both local and international acts before going out for a couple of drinks at one of Ravenswood's neighborhood bars.

Okay, you suffered through the history lesson, now on to the fun stuff! A few doors down from Old Town is the Daily Bar & Grill (4560 N. Lincoln, 773 561 6198). This spacious drinkery/eatery has a fun retro feel, and the old-fashioned diner-style booths are a comfortable place to dig into their specialty barbecue chicken pizza. The drink list consists of a multitude of bottled and draft beers as well as wines by the glass and flavorful specialty martinis. During the summer, the back patio is a wonderful spot to relax with friends and count the numerous musicians going to and from class at the Old Town School.

Other nearby watering holes include 42 Degrees North Latitude (4500 N. Lincoln, 773 907 2226) and the Bad Dog Tavern (4535 N. Lincoln, 773 334 4040). Across the street from Welles Park, French doors invite you into 42 Degrees. Exposed brick surrounds guests dining on New York strip steak and jerk chicken. The drink menu carries numerous margaritas and martinis, and hard-to-find beers like Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Bad Dog offers many seating options for our wining and dining needs. Whether we want window seating, something near the fire, a place close to the TV, or a spot in the big outdoor patio, Bad Dog has it covered. The tavern has a menu that changes seasonally and a fine selection of vintage wines. Perhaps the best part of this roomy establishment is they love to entertain -- Bad Dog puts on live music and comedy on most nights during the week.

The Long Room (1612 W. Irving Park, 773 665 4500) is, in our opinion, the best lounge in Ravenswood. The 60-foot-long bar has a wide variety of specialty Belgian and micro-brews hidden behind its depths. The crowd radiates a laid-back vibe, and the music is always at a nice level where we can hear each other talk. No food is served here, but it's okay with the management if you go next door to Popeye's and bring back some chicken. There is also a pleasantly spacious patio out back, making the Long Room a hotspot to kick back and have a few drinks in the summer.

For more Belgian ale -- a lot more Belgian ale -- we go to Hopleaf Bar (5148 N. Clark, 773 334 9851) which has approximately one hundred different Belgians to choose from. Situated in the far northwest corner of Ravenswood neighborhood, bordering Andersonville, this sizeable establishment (we're talking two floors with three separate rooms) also serves Belgian food such as mussels and moules frites. But most of all, the Hopleaf attracts the "serious" beer drinker due to its large and diverse selection which changes year-round.

As true fans of the Chicago Irish pub, we enjoy relaxing in The Grafton (4530 N. Lincoln, 773 271 9000). Within these walls, decorated by Irish photos and memorabilia, Harp and Guinness flow from the taps while people dig into their fish and chips, and shepherd's pie. The Grafton even brings in Irish folk musicians to perform traditional tunes on occasion. When strolling through the heart of Ravenswood, The Rail Bar & Grill (4709 N. Damen, 773 878 9400) is a spot we frequent for watching sports games while knocking back a brew or two. The eleven plasma-screen TVs display more than our favorite Chicago home teams, as they're often tuned into soccer games and other international matches going on around the world. The Rail has close to 30 beers to choose from and classic comfort food to munch on.

Mark Your Calendar

Ravenswood hosts the annual Chicago Folk & Roots Festival in Welles Park. This mid-July event celebrates the music of the world, bringing in acts from all over to display the sounds and styles of different cultures, be it African, Celtic, or Latin. However, the bands are not the only attraction, the festival also features dance workshops as well as games and entertainment for kids. Food vendors line up along Lincoln Avenue and folks have plenty of space to hang out and relax in the grass. In support of local artists and artisan industries ArtWalkRavenswood (4043 N. Ravenswood) takes place in the spring every year. Attendees must get tickets in advance for the opportunity to browse the works of art and bid on them in a silent auction. Live music, an open bar, and food from local restaurants are also provided.

Getting Around

People who call Ravenswood home have the luxury of the CTA elevated train Brown Line "El" which stops at Montrose, Damen, Western (which is in Lincoln Square), and Rockwell. The Metra line (a commuter train service, which extends out to the city's suburbs) has a Ravenswood stop at Lawrence and Ravenswood. During the warmer months, residents park near this stop after work and catch the train up north to Ravinia to check out the venue's outdoor concert series.

Major bus lines around Ravenswood homes include the #92 Clark Street, the #78 Montrose Avenue, the #49 Western Avenue, the #50 Damen Avenue, the #81 Lawrence Avenue, and the #11 Lincoln Avenue. Whew! All of the routes cut across the city in numerous directions, making it a cinch to get exactly where you want to go in this Chicago neighborhood.

Driving around is easier here than most places, but intersections like Western, Lawrence and Lincoln, and Lincoln and Montrose can get congested. When traveling a short distance in the area during rush hours, we find it much easier to hop on a bike. Fortunately, if you must use your car, there aren't many problems when it comes to parking. If by chance all the metered spots are taken, one can find parking on a residential street with ease.

School's in Session

The Ravenswood neighborhood has many elementary schools and one high school which shares property with Winnemac Park. Queen of Angels Catholic School (4520 N. Western, 773 769 4211) lies not even a block away from Sulzer Regional Library (4455 N. Lincoln, 312 744 7616), one of the largest public libraries in Chicago city neighborhoods. Built in 1985, this library occupies 65,000 square feet and houses a collection with close to 500,000 pieces of material. Some of its special collections are dedicated to Chicago history, especially that of the north side. Free parking along Lincoln and a lot in the back, make a trip here quite convenient.
