Humboldt Dr, Humboldt Park

Humboldt Park is home to a large park that is over 200 aches and one of America's largest Puerto Rican communities. The Puerto Rican flag can be seen frequently, and there are many murals and artworks dedicated to Puerto Rican history.

There are many businesses, clubs and restaurants that have a most decidedly Puerto Rican flare and orientation. It may not be the same thing as a trip to Puerto Rico, but a trip to certain parts of Humboldt Park can give you a little taste of without getting on a plane. Local stores sell all kinds of food treats that you probably can't find readily elsewhere.

If you want to have an interesting day and love Latin cuisine, then you should consider checking out a couple of restaurants in the area. In fact, only New York City can hope to compete with some of the stellar Puerto Rican restaurants that Humboldt Park has to offer. When my friends visit Chicago, we often spend the good park of a day driving around exploring what the area had to offer. While you still know you are in America, the neighborhood has a feel that is unlike anything I had experienced.
