Humboldt Park (1400 N Sacramento Ave, Chicago, IL 60622) is one of those spots I never truly attempted to see, and now that I have, I want to share this oasis with the world. It’s a gorgeous spot that belies the fact that just outside its bounds, a bustling city awaits.
There are a number of seasonal sports and arts programs here as there are throughout the Chicago Park District, but I think the real gem is the renovated Boathouse Cafe, with gorgeous lake views and a simple but tasty menu (and they let me spice up my omelet, so I love ’em!). There is also the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture, so it’s more than just a green sanctuary.
