Home to one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities in the Midwest, Northalsted is a bustling neighborhood in East Lakeview. It has hosted Chicago’s annual Pride Parade since 1971 with over 1 million people attending each year! The neighborhood has charming coffee shops, cool record stores, and trendy boutiques along its tree-lined streets. Known for its comedy clubs and offbeat theaters, the area also draws young, hip crowds to its vibrant cocktail bars and nightclubs.
