Just next door to West Lakeview / Wrigleyville, and a few blocks from the popular Southport Ave. shopping area, the neighborhood of Roscoe Village houses traditional old brownstones, new town homes, popular local restaurants, and a growing presence of locally owned shops.
This family-friendly “village” is quiet, and a pleasant change of pace from the busy thoroughfares just minutes away.
Spend an afternoon discovering the upscale boutiques, gift shops and specialty stores along Roscoe Street (3400N), the neighborhood's main shopping street.
For the latest trends in women's clothing and accessories, step into Cinnamon Boutique, Glam to Go, Isabella’s on Roscoe (intimate apparel) and Kickin (maternity). The Denim Lounge offers hot premium denim lines and casual tops for the entire family.
Shopping for babies and children is a pleasure here. Adorable clothing, accessories, toys and gifts for all ages can be found at Be Bye Baby, Little Threads, and Original Expressions for Kids.
Need great gift ideas for the whole family? Fixture has something for just about everyone, including jewelry, home accessories, baby and hostess gifts. Original Expressions offers beautiful cards and fun, whimsical merchandise. And Sacred Art specializes in affordably-priced art from local designers.
Plenty of pets live in Roscoe Village, too. Local pet boutique Sam & Willy’s carries everyday necessities and amusing toys for cats and dogs, and plenty of gift ideas for their owners. And for a bit of sweet nostalgia, take a walk down memory lane at Suckers Candy on Damen Avenue.
A number of fascinating antique shops are located along Belmont Avenue, including resale shop Night & Day Vintage, which specializes in all things vintage, from furniture to clothing to handbags.
And recently opened Katia & Nola Designs (by appointment only) on Belmont Ave. creates beautiful, personalized floral arrangements for any occasion, from everyday to once-in-a-lifetime.
Whenever you want to take the routine out of your shopping routine, drop into Roscoe Village for big-city finds in a neighborhood of local charm. We’re encouraged by the new business openings in 2006, and are looking out for more to come.
