Welcome to DailyCandy
the insider's guide to your city
DailyCandy is a handpicked selection of all that's fun, fashionable, food related, and culturally stimulating in the city you’re fixated on (and all over the Web).
West Town & Ukrainian Village
West Town is what Wicker Park was ten years ago: shoddy spots, great grub, and zero pretension. Gentrification hasn’t quite set in, so expect an urban mix that many of our hoods lack.

Jam
937 N Damen Ave 773-489-0302
Getting into a jam has never been so fun. Scarf down housemade biscuits, malted custard French toast, and cured meats at an affordable price at this breakfast and lunch joint.
West Town Tavern
1329 W Chicago Ave 312-666-6175
Not your typical tavern, West Town offers down-home food with upscale flavors. Leave your ’tude at the door, cozy up against exposed brick, and chow on truffle potato chips and weekly specials like smoked kalua pig with goat cheese hash. You’ll never want to leave.
