The Wicker Park Food Tour takes guests on a delicious trip through the scenic city blocks, stopping for tastings and to point out the local landmarks. On this 3-hour walking tour, you will get to try 5 different tastings. While the restaurants we visit are subject to change, we usually stop at 5 of the following food places:

  • Antique Taco (est. 2012) Michelin names them Chicago's best values
  • The Chop Shop: An authentic salumeria and gourmet butcher shop
  • Glazed and Infused Donuts (est. 2012) serving a Flavorful re-invention of the iconic American doughnuts
  • Harold's Original Chicken King (est. 1950) the brainchild of an African-American southerner named Harold Pierce, and President Obama's favorite!
  • Alliance Baker: moist red velvet mini cupcakes that are to die for In between tastings, your guides will explore the history, architecture and culture of Wicker Park. You'll see how the neighborhood's history and influences have shaped the food offered there today, and gain insight into the life of a local.

About Sidewalk Tours...

The story behind Sidewalk Food Tours of Chicago goes back three years. Two friends with a deep love of food, history and the city of Chicago found themselves constantly taking friends and family on private walking tours. One day a friend of theirs said, "You guys always give us such informative and delicious food tours. You should start a food tour company, so other people will be able to enjoy your tours as much as we do." And the rest, as they say, is history. Our goal is to provide exceptional walking food tours of Chicago, so people will revisit these neighborhoods with confidence and enjoy the array of cultural options they have to offer. We're self-proclaimed foodies. We've made it our mission to eat our way through Chicago, doing a lot of delicious research (and some not so appetizing) to bring you the best food options Chicago has to offer. There is no better way to learn about the history and culture of a neighborhood than to eat its food. The food, and the people who prepare it, tell a story about the neighborhood. Tease your taste buds and join us in the River North and Wicker Park neighborhoods. We will eat foods from decades-old establishments, which have stood the test of time, as well as newer places with award-winning chefs. Join us on a real foodie adventure as we eat our way through these delicious neighborhoods and uncover the off-the-beaten path food spots of Chicago.
