week for construction work On a recent sunny spring afternoon on one block in Lincoln Square made chalk drawings on the pavement and zipped by on scooters dog walkers and cyclists passed through the 4700 block of North Lincoln Avenue — without concern for vehicles speeding by It was a stark contrast to the typical rush hour on the block when cars would come to a standstill on the narrow street between West Lawrence Avenue and West Leland Avenue has been closed to vehicle traffic since April 21 to accommodate construction at the Lincoln and Leland intersection a member of the Heart of Lincoln Square Neighbors Association he gathered some friends and went to a hardware store for supplies to build benches that they’ve placed on the block within 30 seconds kids were sitting on them “We wanted to take advantage of having this opportunity where we have this open street and wanted to create a place where people could hang out a bike safety advocate and Heart of Lincoln Square Neighbors Association board member stands in the middle of a temporarily shutdown section of North Lincoln Avenue between West Lawrence Avenue and West Leland Avenue He hopes the impromptu pedestrian way can catch the eyes of city officials who work to make Chicago’s streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists The construction is part of a city Department of Transportation initiative to improve Leland Avenue between Western and Lincoln avenues It builds off the 2019 Lincoln Square Master Plan which sought to enhance traffic flow and improve road safety through building low-stress roads support community and economic development and enhance public spaces including the plaza adjacent to the CTA Brown Line station,” a CDOT spokesperson said The construction was extended another week and is expected to be finished by late next week The construction on Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Square is part of a city Department of Transportation initiative to improve Leland Avenue between Western and Lincoln avenues which sought to enhance traffic flow and improve road safety through building low stress roads some residents and businesses on the block have enjoyed “a nice little breather” from the traffic “[The closure has] actually increased our business,” said Sean Herron which has placed a sales rack full of merchandise on the sidewalk since the road closed and I love seeing people out here,” Herron said While the road closure is taking place in the spring Herron questioned what happens to a car-free road in the winter and pointed out the need for access for persons with disabilities and other regulations co-owner of Gene’s Sausage Shop and Delicatessen said the deli’s business has slowed a bit since the road closure due to people who don’t live in the area steering clear “It’s the people that are from outside the community that are having the hardest time getting here,” Luszcz said “And we see that with ZIP code transactions We’re not seeing the people coming from the northern suburbs Luszcz supports the idea of a vehicleless pedestrian way in the neighborhood but he questions whether the 4700 block of North Lincoln Avenue is the right place for one He said a lack of parking and public restrooms makes it “not sustainable.” and the winging it is not happening,” Luszcz said adding that the pedestrian area should include plans for infrastructure to make it sustainable for businesses and the community A man blows up a large soap bubble for children playing in the 4700 block of North Lincoln Avenue in the Lincoln Square neighborhood Islam said any permanent pedestrian way would entail rigorous planning with each stakeholder a road closure related to construction is not ideal where we’re kind of figuring things out on the fly,” Islam said Islam envisions Chicago one day having the widespread pedestrian ways like the vibrant plazas in some countries in Europe and Asia “European pedestrian plazas and central business districts are light years ahead of anything that we’re doing in Chicago and I think it’s something that we should be piloting outside of just street festivals,” Islam said The Heart of Lincoln Square Neighbors Association has received more than 1,000 responses to its survey of neighbors and businesses seeking feedback about the pedestrian way About 70% of respondents said they strongly support a greater role of pedestrianization on the block and about 83% said they think pedestrian-only access should be expanded beyond street festivals The group plans to continue collecting surveys then meet with the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce and 47th Ward Ald Matt Martin to discuss the possibility of a permanent public way in the area Islam at least hopes the road closure offers a glimpse to residents of what could be possible across the city “Seeing so many kids play in the street while their parents are eating at one of the restaurants say something to them and then run back out on the street and the families don’t have to worry about car traffic which could be incredibly fatal — it’s really incredible seeing this kind of space and it’s something I want for every neighborhood in Chicago.” A

Is it the Greater Lincoln Square neighborhood that runs from Montrose up to Bryn Mawr We’ve decided that Lincoln Square means the actual square and immediate surrounding area—roughly from Rockwell to Leavitt on the east-west spectrum, and Leland to Winnemac north-south.

Del Sur BakeryBakery/Cafe Lincoln Square The longanisa croissant and turon danish at this takeout-only Filipino bakery deserve an Art Institute exhibition They’re pastry marvels with immaculate honeycomb structures and ASMR-ready flaky layers But Del Sur’s pastry prowess doesn’t stop at lamination—other creations like ube oatmeal cream pies and bay-leaf-infused adobo brownies are equally delicious Just know that a visit requires showing up way before their 8am opening Korean This place is small and casual—much more of a bar than a restaurant But you should work your way through their entire menu over multiple visits and the first thing you should try is their fire chicken Chunks of marinated chicken are grilled (on an open grill behind the bar) until the marinade becomes charred and caramelized and it comes with a Thousand Island-dressed cabbage slaw to help balance out the heat It’s perfect for a solo meal at the counter American Lincoln Square might not be the first place you'd expect to see a restaurant with a $190 10-course tasting menu but that's exactly where you'll find Atelier But that’s not to say it lacks personality—the welcoming staff and eclectic playlist that cycles through hip-hop and bluegrass keeps it from feeling uncomfortably sterile each delicious course also covers a lot of ground to a cute mini apple cider donut with tiny edible flowers 8.1Luella’s Southern KitchenSouthern This casual, BYOB spot serves fantastic Southern food and you feel like a part of the family the moment you walk in there’s a good chance his wife will take your order and they’ll both treat you like a long-lost cousin The menu includes Southern staples like fried chicken and shrimp and grits or dining in if you feel like showing up with a six-pack 8.0San Soo Gab SanKorean BBQ spot your table is swarmed with side dishes that make free table bread feel insignificant there are over 25 things to snack on between bites of grilled meat And the seasoned meats are fantastic—get the thinly sliced bulgogi and their sweet and savory wang kalbi which get extra flavor from their charcoal grills so it’s perfect for celebrating with some friends who can help you finish the meat 7.7The WarblerJimmy's Pizza CafePizza If you’re searching for a New York-style pizza place perfectly greasy slices on little paper plates like a plain cheese with red sauce and a garlicky white pizza topped with blobs of ricotta 8.0Jibek JoluCentral Asian Jibek Jolu is one of the only Kyrgyz restaurants in the city and this Lincoln Square sit-down spot with a small yurt-like interior has great Central Asian food Every dumpling on the menu is delicious enough to warrant a tattoo in their honor But they also have heartier options like chewy lagman noodles with beef or lamb kuurdak with tender potatoes and onions but servings are large so bringing some friends won't hurt 7.9Nhu Lan BakeryVietnamese our heads turn like an owl whenever we hear someone talking about Nhu Lan’s bánh mì We fluctuate between ordering the Nhu Lan special topped with ham and fatty head cheese or the #2 made with chunks of sweet roast pork but often just get both because the sandwiches here are all around $10 each bánh mì gets plenty of added flavor from pate 8.4LC PhoHimalayan Sherpa KitchenIndian This is a small BYOB spot on Lawrence that’s serving great Nepali food and C momos—crispy dumplings served in a spicy sauce that will make you glad you brought a six-pack This place has some very good Indian dishes and it’s a perfect place for a casual weeknight dinner 7.6Han BatMiku SushiJapanese Miku Sushi is a great neighborhood spot for affordable nigiri Every day from 11am-6pm they have a deal where select maki rolls are half off Standard rolls like tuna or salmon are $5.00 and combination rolls like their Samurai with tuna narrow dining space has plenty of table and counter space so it’s perfect if you’re suddenly put in charge of planning a team lunch for you and your 18 coworkers 7.8Gene’s Sausage ShopPolish Gene’s is an old-school Polish deli that serves traditional sausages and other specialty Polish items Grab a couple of each and hang out on the picnic benches for an excellent afternoon 7.6Monti'sSandwiches cheesy Philly cheesesteak as much as we do It’s a bar-like space that specializes in the classic Philly staple which makes sense since the couple that owns and runs the place is from Philadelphia The authentic Philly cheesesteak is the way to go and get an order of cheese fries to go with it These are the best restaurants in Ravenswood All our

grew up in Albany Park and likes to play the xylophone when he isn’t busy eating and filling his camera roll with videos of pasta twirls He's always on the hunt for a great slice of tiramisu and is equally passionate about bad movies Wynton Marsalis blends tradition and present in a new showcase of current composers Wynton Marsalis is a longtime legend of contemporary jazz a three-disc-long oratorio about slaves escaping to freedom was the first jazz composition (and first non-classical composition) to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music paving the way for subsequent winners such as Henry Threadgill’s In for a Penny legendary saxophonist Ornette Coleman’s Sound Grammar he has recorded over 100 albums of jazz and classical music and nowhere is that more pronounced than the concert’s opening number "Philadelphia" is a jaunty tune featuring some energetic bebop-esque horn work and an excellent saxophone solo There’s a sense of possibility in the piece evoking that feeling of strolling down a city street on a brisk day Another piece of a similar theme is "Revived Mind," a composition from Korean composer Jihye Lee The performance masterfully evokes a sense of calmness The use of flute in particular adds a lightness that elevates the composition wonderfully Marsalis and Feifke wisely placed the piece as the last song before the evening’s intermission "Charles," written by George DeLancey and named as a tribute to his son, is a more contemplative piece, although not a somber one. Bassist Carlos Henriquez takes an excellent solo driving the original groove to new and exciting places before bringing it back in line enabling the rest of the ensemble to come back smoothly before finishing it Another more contemplative note in the evening is "Ali Dell’Angelo," composed by Feifke The work is inspired by the idea of a fallen angel that idea of a fall from grace and becoming something new Winding piano arpeggios climb into the instrument’s upper ranges as if ascending a mountain before and crashing against the low rumble of the bass The composition’s Italian name would translate into English as “angel wings,” appropriate for the epic composition Japanese composer Miho Hazama was inspired by the particularly unique gait of a friend’s cat and the piece thus features a playful bass groove It’s an incredibly fun work that the orchestra handle beautifully The piece is intentionally meandering at times wisely providing space for the individual musicians in the orchestra to throw in their own little flourishes Hazama herself later made an appearance on stage Leo Steinriede’s "Blues ‘25," an aptly-named modern take on the classic 12-bar blues is a perfect representation of the concert’s theme: the mixing of the contemporary and the traditional commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center itself through the Arnhold Innovation Initiative is fairly straightforward yet no less enjoyable drummer Domo Branch gets a chance to shine with an excellent solo and some clever fills Staccato piano hits bounce off the brass horns’ melodies for a delightfully invigorating number Frenetic horn solos (including one from Marsalis himself) make this a standout of the evening The performance keeps the audience on their toes drawing attention from one musician to the next and to the next before finishing up with an extended baritone sax solo that drew much applause Overall, Contemporary Jazz Masterpieces with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Orchestra is an excellent concert showcasing fresh works that pay their respects to the classics In a genre with so many big names that have gone down in history as Marsalis has demonstrated time and time again Header photo by Gilberto Tadday for Jazz at Lincoln Center Learn more about the JLCO online here Find more tickets to upcoming shows at Jazz at Lincoln Center on their website here.
