Park
The Chicago Architecture Center says, "Designed by Chicago landscape architect Ernest Wong, Mary Bartelme Park is a 1.4-acre recreation ground that provides a much-desired park and playground for younger families flocking to the neighborhood. Mary was the state’s first woman judge. In the late 1890s, she helped establish America’s first juvenile court. Nicknamed “Suitcase Mary,” she provided suitcases filled with clothing and toiletries to women leaving the jail system, and donated her home to establish Mary’s Club, a group home for girls. Her namesake park features three diagonal paths that intersect to create several zones: a children’s play area, a sunken dog park and an open lawn.

Wonderful Cajun restaurant in an unlikely location - the 7th floor of a Loop office building. It's been there for ages, and has hardly changed at all over the years. Gumbo and a jalapeno corn muffin? Yes, please!

Haven't been here myself, but this place was highly recommended, especially the Henry Darger Room. If you're looking for something off the beaten path, this might be it!
