  • Are these details incorrect?
  • Strolling down North Halsted Street, it’s fairly evident you’re in Chicago’s gay neighborhood when you hit shops called Gay Mart, Cupid’s Treasures, and a club named Manhole. Just 30 years ago, this area – officially East Lakeview – was pretty shabby, the bars were without signs, and parking was a cinch. But now buzzing Boys Town is gay central – by day and by night.

Practical Information
N. Halsted St. (& much of Broadway) from Belmont Ave.–Grace St., & Clark St. from Belmont–Addison Aves.
