Best arts and healing space on the north side

Chicago Reader: Uptown—specifically the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Broadway—was once the cradle of Chicago entertainment. From the now-closed Uptown Theatre (opened in 1925) to still-thriving venues like the Riviera Theatre (1918), Aragon Ballroom (1926), and Green Mill Cocktail Lounge (1907, but called Pop Morse’s Roadhouse until 1910), the neighborhood boasts culturally diverse attractions and dining.
