Where in the world is the Land of the Lost Vintage? How about Una
Mae's Freak Boutique? Have you been to Flashy Trash? Tried a
Chicago-style pizza at Nancy's? Unlike many guidebooks, ALTERNATIVE
CHICAGO (second edition) does not tell you where to stay or how to
get around in the city, or even what sights you should see. There
are already dozens of guidebooks that concentrate on these
subjects. Rather, Alternative Chicago contains
neighborhood-by-neighborhood accounts of the out-of-the-way places
you want to know about -- resale and vintage shops, record stores
and bookstores, offbeat eateries, and cool bars and clubs. Unlike
the other"" guidebooks, ALTERNATIVE CHICAGO is not your parents'
guidebook. It's for younger, discriminating folk, not necessarily
chronologically, but young at heart. Anyone from sixteen to sixty
can appreciate this different kind of guidebook. It will not tell
you where the nearest Tower Records or Starbucks is situated, but
it will point you to local institutions like Bookworks and Hi-Fi
Records. Hard Rock Cafe? How about the Heartland Cafe? Water Tower
Place? What about Wacky Cats? Never heard of them? Of course not --
but these are all distinctly Chicago places, and that is what you
will discover in ALTERNATIVE CHICAGO. Neighborhoods covered include
The Loop, River North, Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lakeview,
Wrigleyville, Ravenswood, Uptown, Korea Town, Rogers Park, Greek
Town, Little Italy, Pilsen, China Town, Little Tuscany, Hyde Park,
and more.""
