Ukrainian Village
Ukrainian Village's diverse restaurants and local delis
Area dining is varied and walkable for most residents. Tryzub Ukrainian Kitchen, open since 2016, prides itself on serving modern takes on traditional fare, such as varenyky, the Ukrainian version of pierogi. This establishment is also a cultural experience, with artifacts like photos and Ukrainian embroidery adorning the walls and Ukrainian books available. Ann’s Bakery and Deli brings imported Eastern European goods and prepared foods to the neighborhood, and many people stop in for some pampushky—a doughnut filled with raspberry jam. “There are people who will come from the suburbs to these restaurants because they are Ukrainian,” Parasca says. The surrounding neighborhoods are a foodie destination, with many options within walking distance. Kasama is the first Filipino restaurant and bakery to earn a Michelin star, known for their Basque cake dusted with powdered sugar in the shape of a sun. Polish fare is available at Kasia’s Deli, which serves stuffed cabbage and an award-winning pierogi. While residents can stop in the delis to get imported goods and other snacks, Mariano’s is just half a mile away for bigger grocery trips. The closest Jewel-Osco is 1.5 miles away in Wicker Park Commons.

Low-rise condos and workers' cottages around Ukrainian Village
Ukrainian Village offers a mix of housing options, from single-family workers’ cottages to condos in brick low-rises and sleek modern new constructions. Because of the neighborhood’s history and roots, some older buildings, like churches, are being converted into condominiums to maintain the neighborhood's aesthetic while adding more housing opportunities. Condos can sell between $600,000 and $950,000, while single-family homes often sell between $950,000 and $1.3 million. Throughout Ukrainian Village, trees create a canopy of green, providing shade and offering a pop of color. Street parking is prominent, but back and side alleys do offer other parking options.

Ukrainian Days Festival celebrates Ukrainian culture in Chicago
Every August, Ukrainian Days Festival is another way Ukrainian Village pays homage to its roots. The festival occurs in late August, which is when Ukraine celebrates its independence from the Soviet Union in the 90s. The community here celebrates with one of the largest Ukrainian street festivals in the US, featuring plenty of Ukrainian foods and beers, live music and traditional dancing. There is also a competition for vyshyvanka—the traditional Ukrainian embroidery. In the summer, West Fest Chicago showcases West Town with live music and street vendors along Chicago Avenue every July.Studying culinary arts and health at Clemente

Ukrainian-American art and museums based in Ukrainian Village
Ukrainian Village’s only park is Western Park, located in the southwest corner of the neighborhood. The modest, quarter-acre park has a playground. Access to more green space is available at Humboldt Park, where boating and swimming opportunities are available on its 197 acres. As the city’s hub for Ukrainian culture, the neighborhood has two main museums dedicated to Ukrainian art. The Ukrainian National Museum of Chicago was founded in 1952, highlighting the history and culture of Ukrainian immigrants in Chicago and Ukrainian-Americans. Its permanent exhibits showcase pysanky, traditional Ukrainian painted eggs, embroidery and focus on major cultural events, like the building of the Ukrainian Pavilion for the Chicago 1933 World's Fair. The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (UIMA) features modern art created by Ukrainian Americans but also goes beyond with events and exhibits dedicated to music, literature and film.

Walking to restaurants and cafes from homes in Ukrainian Village
While residents can drive to restaurants, part of Ukrainian Village’s appeal is that people can walk to where they need to go. “When people leave their house, they can just walk. They’ll never have to drive to reach their friends,” Parasca says. “But if you want to go to Costco, you’ll have to get in your car.” Most needs can be met along Chicago Avenue and Division Street, the area’s main thoroughfares. Buses also run along these streets, so residents can explore other restaurants and parks around West Town. Ascension Saint Mary Chicago is the nearest hospital, located along Division Street on the northern side of the neighborhood. For those commuting into downtown Chicago, about 4 miles away, the closest Metrarail station is less than a mile away at the Western Avenue station and the CTA Blue Line is available at the Division stop and the Chicago Ave stop. Interstate 90 is to the east for those commuting by car. Chicago Midway International Airport is 12 miles away for when residents want to travel beyond Chicagoland.
