Located in a former hardware store (hence the signage on the building's exterior), this popular neighborhood destination is a blinking, beeping menagerie of lovingly restored arcade games. Grab a beer or cocktail at Logan Arcade’s bar before you snag some quarters from the change machine and start sampling the games, most of which are outfitted with a nearby ledge where you can rest your beverage. The machines are rotated with some regularity, but you'll usually find one of the city's largest collections of pinball machines in addition to a smattering of old-school video games, such as Ms. Pac-Man and Q-Bert. Make a beeline for the very back of the arcade to check out the Killer Queen cabinet—a 10-player game that has developed a cult following.

Designed by William Le Baron Jenney in the mid-1800s and enhanced several years later by Jens Jensen, Humboldt Park was once the nation’s greatest public park, boasting acres of Prairie-style gardens, grazing animals and a meandering river scene. Though the animals are long gone, the park is still a gem among Chicago's public green spaces, filled with lagoons, tennis courts, an inland beach, a fieldhouse, baseball fields and bike paths. Wandering through the area long enough and you'll probably come across the Humboldt Park Boathouse, an iconic example of Prairie style architecture.

In the spring, summer and fall, the Logan Square Farmers Market sets up every Sunday morning along the neighborhood's historic boulevard (a few steps away from Milwaukee Avenue) and welcomes vendors from Wisconsin, Michigan and downstate Illinois. You'll find plenty of seasonal produce, farm-raised meats and fresh baked goods, but you'll need to arrive early if you want to beat the crowds of folks who show up to shop and socialize. When the weather gets frigid, this market heads inside for the season—this year, it takes place in Logan Square's Emporium Arcade Bar each Sunday.

A formerly abandoned stretch of elevated railway track that runs through Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Wicker Park and Bucktown has found new life as the 606. Named after the first three digits in every Chicago zip code, the 2.7-mile path provides a quick way to travel east and west on the North Side, connecting several parks and public art installations.

Emporium Arcade Bar's second Chicago outpost is a bit of a departure from its original location in Wicker Park. The Logan Square version has fewer arcade games but boasts much more space to sit down, stand or make your way to the bar, which serves several draft beers as well as a cooler full of cans. All the extra space means that there's room for table games, including pool tables, air hockey, skeeball, miniature bowling and more. Plus, there's a decomissioned food truck that hosts various chefs and vendors if you need a snack between high score attempts on the pinball tables.

Named for the 15th governor of Illinois, John McAuley Palmer, this seven-acre park located between Logan Square and Humboldt Park dates back to the creation of the boulevard system in the 1870s. Palmer Square was a popular spot for cyclists (or "wheelmen") in the early 1900s, though you're now more likely to find runners on the track that circles the park's perimeter. Kids will appreciate a playground inspired by the classic book The Velveteen Rabbit.
