Great walking location, near two parks and the Chicago River, Lincoln Square restaurants and bars, and the Old Town School of Folk Music. Walk to Andersonville for even more entertainment. Easy Mass Transit to rest of Chicago. Evanston and Northwestern University nearby (20 minutes by car). Interesting neighborhood with many great, ethnic BYOB restaurants nearby. Get to know a real Chicago neighborhood but with mass transit access (Brown Line and buses) to all tourist destinations.

Here is a link to recent Chicago Tribune article on Lincoln Square.
