North Wells St, Near North Side

Wells Street is home to one of the best Psychology schools in the nation, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Apartments are nearby, mostly geared toward students as they are right across from the school, and minutes from all of Chicago's hotspots. While it's a good size campus, it is not the only attraction that is well known on the block. Wells Street is also home to one of the most elegant Japanese restaurants in the Chicago area, The Kamehachi of Tokyo. With award winning food, dining, service, and atmosphere this is a great place to head if touring the heart of Chicago, and in the center area of the Chicago Loop.

Club 720, need i say more, this place has the best music i have heard for a while

For one weekend in September 1400N-1600N Wells is converted in to a huge winery. All aspects of wine making are demonstrated and you may sample wine from a variety of different vineyards from arount the world. This festival combined with the fact that it is in Old Town, my favorite neigborhood in chicago, make it a must go every year. I have travelled thousands of miles to attend this festival. If you like wine and Chicago this is a won't miss event. Don't bring the kids I have seen it get a bit ugly on ocassion.
