Bucktown and Wicker Park continue to be a destination for Chicagoans and tourists. We have an abundance of great shopping and dining locations – many of which are supporters of the Pipeline. We have great local businesses that provide us with every convenience – dry cleaner, car washes, pet services, small grocers and quick stops, lunch spots and shops to get the last items for a great night. Our choices seem to continue to grow and supporting our local businesses maintains our high quality of life and the desirability of our neighborhoods.

Wicker Park new restaurant MC Bistro
from Chicago Magazine
Remember Chicago magazine’s Best of Chicago feature from December 1995? No? Maybe you’ll remember the restaurant our erstwhile colleagues said had the best booths in the city: Julie Mai’s Le Bistro, the Andersonville French-Vietnamese spot that closed in 2000. The booths were cozy, private nooks with switches to control the lights and call the servers, and the semi-exotic food and nice wine list added up to a romantic atmosphere. Well, Julie Mai is back, at MC Bistro (1401 N. Ashland Ave.; 773-489-5600), a new 110-seat French-Vietnamese spot in Wicker Park that opened last week. Mai, partnering with her sister Thanh Chi, offers Vietnamese classics such as spring rolls and papaya salad, as well as pho of which she’s proud. How does it feel to be back? “It feels good,” she says. “I love food. Now I think I can do better than before.”
Sounds like I need to get there soon - Eva
