Southport Corridor is one of Chicago's best kept not-so-hidden gems. Tucked away just a few blocks west of Wrigleyville, it harbors everything needed to keep busy for an afternoon or longer (if you're not careful)!
Located directly off the Southport brown line L stop, Southport Corridor is easily accessible by public transit or easily walkable from the Lakeview and Roscoe Village neighborhoods.
What I love most about this area is that is has something for every occasion. Girls night, check! Date night, check! Casual morning, check! Late-night walk, check!
This little pocket comprised of a few city blocks can provide entertainment for an hour or seven, it just depends on what you're looking to do!
