Boystown
I came here on a Friday evening after visiting Lincoln Zoo and Conservatory and eating dinner at Lou Malnati’s. At the recommendation of Time Out, I decided to check out two attractions: The Legacy Walk, which were placards of influential LGBT people erected on rainbow-colored pylons and the Center on Halsted, a community center for LGBT individuals. The Legacy Walk was awesome! I loved learning about those who came before me and the contributions they made to the progress of the acceptance of LGBT. I was informed on who the founders of GLAAD were and how the first celebrity trans-gendered individual was met, not with hatred and disgust, but rather fascination. The Center on Halsted is interestingly attached to a Whole Foods Market. And it was a nice place for me to unwind after a long day of walking. I also got a great chocolate peanut butter shake at Chicago Diner (which was super busy at this time with a wait time of 30-45 minutes for a table of 2). I also saw the Furious Spoon which was shown in an Eater Chicago documentary about the gentrification of Boystown. This was my first visit to a "gayborhood" and it was a great experience! I really enjoyed the experience! I highly recommend the neighborhood for LGBT individuals! If I ever come back to Chicago, I will definitely be coming back here!
