"Rainbow Beach is a 61-acre public beach and park within Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood, originally developed as two separate beaches in the early 20th century before being consolidated into a single beach when the area was acquired by the Chicago Park District in 1959. The beach is named in honor of the United States Army's World War I 42nd Rainbow Division and is located at the terminus of 75th Street at the Lake Michigan shoreline, one of 18 street-end municipal beaches located throughout the city. A field house at the beach, developed in 1999, offers a fitness center, gymnasium, handball courts, and multipurpose community rooms, while a nine-acre natural area preserves significant dune habitats."
"South ShoreLike many South Side beaches, Rainbow has a lovely view of the Downtown city skyline, as well as Wi-Fi, free parking, a playground, handball courts, and a nine-acre natural dune habitat. What more can you ask for?. What to know: With a gymnasium and fitness center, it’s Chicago’s version of Muscle Beach."
"Located in the South Chicago neighborhood, Rainbow Beach is also connected to the Rainbow Beach Park. Pack a picnic and escape the hot sun for a midday lunch in the shaded park!"
"This colorful diner is open around the clock, 365 days a year, making it an excellent choice for early-rising kiddos ready to munch. With fun decor and famously friendly servers, the whole family will feel at home here. They offer a kid’s menu with classic American comfort food, as well as breakfast options all day."

Wicker Park. Does this 25-year-old diner even have locks on its doors?. It certainly doesn't need them: The colorful, retro spot feeds hungry (and, often, drunk) Wicker Parkers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year."
"Although it’s missing the glitz and glam of Beverly Hills, this Hollywood-themed diner is the late-night star of Wicker Park. Sure, eating jumbo fried shrimp, nachos supreme, or a pulled pork sandwich at 1 a.m. isn’t the healthiest choice, but damn if it isn't difficult to resist."
