Lively Arts in Chicago

Just minutes from Roosevelt Square is the complete range of entertainment that Authentic Chicago has to offer: blues at The House of Blues and Buddy Guy's Legends, live jazz at The Jazz Showcase, comedy at Second City, and the fine artistry of The Lyric Opera, the CSO and Joffrey Ballet.

For culture at your doorstep, make the most of music and theatre nearby at The UIC Pavilion, or visit the Hull House Museum on UIC's campus. Be sure to head down Halsted Street to Barbara's Bookstore. And every Sunday morning join the tradition of the weekly, open-air Maxwell Street market.

Explore the neighboring Pilsen community and browse popular galleries like Polvo Art Studios and Unit B, which showcase the talents of the lively local artist colony. And there's so much more: the extraordinary Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum; Greektown's rich cuisine and nightlife; the unique shopping and dining experience in Chinatown - all Authentic Chicago, and just minutes from your new front door at Roosevelt Square.
