Great beaches!!!
You will enjoy the 15-20 min walk from my house through the neighborhood to this beach! It is a clean beach, usually not crowded and has a great view of the city! It is a nice walk here all times of the year!
On the way to this beach you will discover many cafes and restaurants, Target, CVS, Chase Bank, small neighborhood grocery stores, work out gym and Loyola University Campus and further north of Sheridan Rd is a discounted movie theatre that serves alcoholic beverages. "The New 400 Theater" located @ 6746 N Sheridan Rd. I will say not updated and most comfortable seats.

Food and live entertainment
This is a unique hidden neighborhood gem 1228 W Loyola Ave. can be hard to find. It is on the west side of the red line at Loyola station. Although I haven't eaten here I have heard that the food is solid for breakfast and dinner.
I have sat on the patio had a drink and listened to live jazz on a random Friday night.

You can easily take the Metra train and go listen to live concerts in a beautiful park setting. Bring your own picnic, drinks, blankets or chairs, or you can rent chairs, and buy food and drinks at the venue.
I have seen Seal, Lauren Hill, Santana, John Legend, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

In West Rogers Park Explore Chicago’s Little India, A 15-Block Stretch On Devon Avenue. The Hustle and Bustle and vibe of the neighborhood goes from approximately block 2000W to 3000W on Devon Ave.
According to Secret Chicago "Filled with packed restaurants, delicious food, and shop windows advertising saris, Little India might be less well known than the likes of China Town or Greektown, but it’s 100% worth a visit. It is bustling with Indian and Pakistani culture".
