In fact, a lot of walking is probably a good idea in an area where the meals are so tempting.<\/p>\n<h2>Still the Champ<\/h2>\n<p>Unquestionably, Schwa reigns as the area\u2019s ultimate eating experience. Holder of a Michelin star since 2011, Schwa was an early proponent of molecular gastronomy, and in its second decade is still crafting intense and delicate dishes. The menu is ever-changing and the restaurant\u2019s chefs work \u201cto re-imagine the possibilities of global, seasonal ingredients.\u201d A bucket-list destination.<\/p>\n<h2>Global Grub<\/h2>\n<p>Wicker Park and Bucktown have something for everyone, whatever they have a taste for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Club Lucky:<\/strong> Old-school Italian, from the fried calamari to the chicken Vesuvio to the cannoli.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Iraz\u00fa:<\/strong> Costa Rican. For breakfast or dinner, a BYOB neighborhood favorite since 1990, usually with a side of plantains.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fifolet: <\/strong>Cajun without pretense. Jambalaya, po\u2019boys, alligator etouffee \u2014 not to mention a weekend brunch that ranks among the area\u2019s best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cumin:<\/strong> The menu is half Indian, and chicken and goat get plenty of attention, but Cumin is known mostly for its variety of Nepalese and vegetarian options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Furious Spoon:<\/strong> Get your ramen here. This first of chef Shin Thompson\u2019s noodle joints \u2014 now eight in all \u2014 mixes hip-hop sounds with a Tokyo-style ramen shop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>All the Goodness<\/h2>\n<p>Practically all the eating options in Wicker Park and Bucktown could be called comfort food, if only for a community vibe that, while certainly in tune with quality, is decidedly unfussy. Still, here are some true roll-up-your-sleeves eateries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Small Cheval<\/strong> serves hamburgers, cheeseburgers and fries \u2014 gorgeous golden fries. That\u2019s it. The drink menu has more variety (think beer and cocktails), but you can stop at the chocolate shake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Big Star<\/strong> has 10 kinds of tacos and a huge, dog-friendly outdoor patio. Need we say more?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Handlebar<\/strong> isn\u2019t quite a neighborhood secret, but it feels like it is. Small and casual \u2014 open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week \u2014 it describes its menu as \u201cmade-from-scratch vegetarian and vegan comfort food.\u201d Plus, it has a lovely outdoor dining area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Oh Yeah, Pizza!<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Dimo\u2019s<\/strong> sells slices, until all hours of the night, frequently to music fans on their way home from nearby Subterranean. Macaroni and cheese, pulled pork on barbecue sauce, and chicken and waffles are just some of the nontraditional offerings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Piece<\/strong> got famous behind its New Haven-style pizza (red sauce, no mozzarella, topped with garlic, parmesan and olive oil) and the fact that it is co-owned by Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen.<\/p>\n<p>There are dozens more dining experiences to discover in Wicker Park and Bucktown.
