Ukrainian Village
Located in West Town, this neighborhood is named after a wave of immigrants in the early 1900s. As opposed to its neighbor to the north, Wicker Park, residents here were predominantly working-class, serving the wealthy living nearby. Three elaborate Churches also helped name this district SS. Volodymyr and Olha, St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic, and Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral. While gentrification and outmigration have diluted the Ukrainian demographic in recent years, the Ukrainian Cultural Center and Ukrainian National Museum still stand firm. In January 2016, Redfin ranked this neighborhood as the nation’s Hottest Neighborhood of 2016 based on page views and favorites on their website and mobile app.
Some other notable restaurants in the area are Fatso’s Last Stand, Old Lviv, and Tryzub Ukrainian Village.
