Overview

Roam the lively heart of Lincoln Square with its cafés, delis, and other fun and fascinating stores; stand beside the Berlin Wall; take in ghastly history, gorgeous murals, and 300-year-old oak trees; and, at your journey’s end, find yourself rewarded by the sight of an architectural gem.
