The 606 is an old elevated railroad track that has been converted to a walking/running/biking trail. It cuts through the heart of Logan Square and Bucktown. Go for a walk, run, or bike ride along the trail. There is an entrance to the trail off of California Ave and another one off Rockwell Ave. A great place to jog or just walk and see parts of the neighborhood.

My neighborhood bar. This place has plenty of TV's for sports, lots of beers on draft (fancy craft beer as well as what you drank in high school), and pretty decent chicken wings. My favorite is the shrimp tacos, though. Less than 5 minutes away.

My favorite "Famous" Chicago deep-dish stuffed pizza chain. This location is the closest one for delivery. If you get a stuffed pizza, it will take awhile for the delivery. The phone # is 773.862.4200. There are other locations around town that you will probably pass by as you go site-seeing. This is the closest one for delivery orders. If you order a deep-dish pizza, two slices will probably fill you up.
