Mostly residential in it's interior, Ukrainian Village began as a haven for Chicago's Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian residents. A friendly neighborhood whose influences are evident in its architecture and storefronts, Ukrainian Village provides an escape from the bustle of Chicago proper and bordering Bucktown and Wicker Park. The woodwork on the archways of Holy Trinity Cathedral is an excellent example of the detailed artistry and cultural influence in Ukranian Village. There are also a number of neighborhood bars and haunts that are comfortable, affordable, and friendly. Live music can be heard at the Rainbo Club and Empty Bottle to name a few, while if that isn't up your alley, you can visit the Ukranian National Museum among others. This peaceful village consists mainly of two and three floor homes and apartment buildings ranging from rehabbed brownstones to red brick front buildings. There are also a number of ethnic restaurants offering authentic European cuisines to sample. Parking is not a problem and public transportation is available.
