Ukrainian Village is a unique west side neighborhood full of historical houses, mom-and-pop businesses, Chicago families and a smattering of hipsters. It's the type of place you find neighbors interacting with each other; visiting the local coffee shops, sitting in their backyards and strolling down the tree-lined streets. The Ukrainian Village is home to quite a few trendy Chicago hangouts. Bands come from all over the country to perform at Ukrainian Village's popular bar stages like the Empty Bottle and Dark Room. Once a year, residents prepare for a customary celebration of their heritage with the Ukrainian Village Fest, which is centered around the neighborhood's prized churches. Courtesy of Vintage Realty. |
