Join us on a trip through Pilsen! Plants, bookstores, vintage clothing, community garden, and tamales! Enjoy a perfect day in Pilsen and support local businesses!
Pilsen Community Books
Website: https://www.pilsencommunitybooks.com/
Stop by the local bookstore and pick up a used book. Be sure to take the obligatory picture of the “always carry a book” sign.
The Shudio
Website: https://www.theshudio.co/
Stop in The Shudio and pick up some vintage apparel: shoes, purses, scarfs, tops, pants, jewelry. Of course, you wont leave The Shudio without a plant as well.
Yvolina’s Tamales
Address: 814 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Be sure to grab some tamales from Yvolina’s. These tamales are our favorite. We suggest the chicken/green.
Zin’s Flower shop
Website: https://zinsflowershop.com/
Stop in Zin’s Flower shop to buy yourself a new plant or fresh flowers. This flower shop is located on 18th street so it is hard to miss!
El Paseo Community Garden
Website: https://elpaseogarden.org/
We saved the best for last! Of course, here at a nature escape, we think everyone should spend time at local community parks, and this is the best one in the city.
