Dear Friends,
As the weather cools down, stay warm inside at one of Lincoln Park's many top-notch restaurants. In fact, the Michelin Guide has awarded 2015 Bib Gourmands to several Lincoln Park restaurants, including Balena, Pump Room and Riccardo Trattoria.
Have you been to the North Pond restaurant? Greg Mosko, the restaurant's pastry chef, was named one of the country's five best new pastry chefs by Food & Wine magazine.
Warm up with Cajun and Creole dishes at Epiphany Bistro, which opened in October at 734 W. Fullerton, and Snarf's Sandwiches recently opened its first Lincoln Park location.
Have a sweet tooth? Visit Sugar Fixe Macaron, which just opened on Friday, for 18 different flavors of macarons.
Additionally, don't forget that you can still visit the Green City Market at its indoor location at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum!
Look forward to seeing you around the 43rd Ward.

Lincoln Avenue Resurfaced
I am happy to announce the completion of the Lincoln Avenue resurfacing project!
As many residents, motorists and bicyclists can certainly attest, Lincoln Avenue had deteriorated tremendously over the years and was in desperate need of repairs.
Given that Lincoln Avenue is a state road, and therefore ineligible for funding from local City sources such as my Aldermanic Menu, I worked very closely with Governor Quinn's office to secure the financing allowing for the resurfacing of this vital street in Lincoln Park.
The resurfacing project began in early October, and was completed on Tuesday, December 9th. The following locations on Lincoln Avenue were resurfaced:
- Lincoln Avenue, between Wells Street and Larrabee Avenue
- Lincoln Avenue, between Fullerton Avenue and Diversey Parkway
To further enhance Lincoln Avenue, repairs were made to several sidewalks, curbs and gutters that were in need of rehabilitation. Additionally, concrete "bus pads" were installed at CTA bus stop locations to prevent pavement "buckling" from occurring.
Thank you for your patience as we worked to repair these portions of Lincoln Avenue!
