Chicago’s Avondale community is a working-class neighborhood located about 8 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. Avondale was recently recognized as one the nation’s 10 hottest, need-to-visit neighborhoods by popular travel website Lonely Planet. The article—which also highlights spots such as New York’s Sunset Park, Denver’s River North (RiNo), and Frelard in Seattle—focused primarily on up-and-coming areas where art, culture, food, and authenticity intersect. Avondale’s inclusion references the neighborhood’s blue collar “scruffiness” and a relative lack of pretension compared to its immediate surroundings. The neighborhood features a diverse range of trendy food and beverage offerings, such as, Milano's Cafe and Bar.
