Author tip

A slew of beaches lick the lake shore a few blocks east of the hostel. To the west is Devon Ave, Chicago's 'International Marketplace', where worlds collide - Indian women in jewel-toned saris glide by Muslim men in white skullcaps, and Nigerian women in bright print robes shop beside Orthodox men in black yarmulkes. It's incredibly diverse, and a great destination for shopping and global eats.
