Shoutout to Jacoby Cochran at City Cast Chicago for the great story, “Walk a Mile on 53rd Street.”
Cochran writes, “I’ve spent half of my adult years living in Hyde Park. Whether performing, shopping, or hanging with friends, I have made lifelong memories exploring the neighborhood.” For those of us who are local residents or regular visitors, there was no surprise to hear that “Harper Court is home to great concerts during the spring and summer, but the shops are buzzing all year long.”
Some of Cochran’s local notables along 53rd Street between Hyde Park Boulevard and Woodlawn Avenue include:
|
14 Parish The Falcon Inn Cholie’s The Promontory The Silver Room Bonne Sante Recycled Modern |
Strugglebeard Bakery
Suuri Design Sneakerville 88 Harper Theater Hyde Park Records Small Cheval Kilwins |
While Cochran obviously had several places to choose from, the article notes that usually 10 spots are recommended. But we all know there’s way more than 10 spots in a mile walk on 53rd Street. You could spend the weekend and not see everything. But if you do, we have very comfortable hospitality at the Hyatt Place hotel and Sophy hotel.
Thanks to Jacoby Cochran for the highlights. We’ll be on the look out for his visits in the future.
