Hey r/chicago!

I've been living in Chicago for a while now and I've visited many of the popular spots around the city. However, I'm really interested in exploring some of the lesser-known gems that locals appreciate. Whether it's a hidden cafe, a unique museum, a quiet park with a great view, or even a neighborhood event that's not on the tourist radar—I want to hear about it!

So, Chicagoans, what are your favorite hidden gems in the city? Where do you go to escape the crowds or discover something new? Any insider tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to discovering some hidden treasures in our beautiful city. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
