For Lincoln Park businesses

Live Lincoln Park lists 269 restaurants, shops, services, parks and schools in Lincoln Park, Chicago, and every listing is free. If you own or manage a business here, use the form below to correct your listing, send a photo, offer a perk to new neighbors, or partner on an event.

What businesses get, free

• An accurate listing. We check each listing’s address, phone and website against the business’s own site and public records. Tell us when something changes and we’ll update it.
• Your own photo. Send a photo you own and we’ll credit it on your listing. If we already use a photo from your website and you’d rather we didn’t, tell us and we’ll take it down.
• A window sign or counter card. A printed sign with a QR code that opens your listing, with your map, contact details and the neighbors nearby.
• A place in our neighborhood guides. Our guides link to listings where they help a reader, such as best coffee, restaurants by cuisine, or things to do with kids. Those picks are editorial; they can’t be bought.

New-neighbor perks

We’re putting together a welcome guide for people who have just moved to Lincoln Park. If you’d like to offer new neighbors something, such as a free coffee, a first class, or a discount on a first visit, describe it in the form. You set the terms and you redeem it directly with the customer. Perks will be listed once enough businesses take part.

Open houses and neighborhood events

Joe Bjorklund, the Baird & Warner broker who supports this site, hosts open houses and neighborhood events. If you’d like to supply coffee or food or set up a table, tell us what you have in mind. Partners are paid at their normal prices or credited as hosts, never for referrals.

How listings work

• Listings are free and never depend on advertising, perks or referrals. Under Illinois law, a real estate broker can’t pay an unlicensed person for a referral, so we don’t offer referral fees, gifts or rewards for sending us clients.
• We list businesses inside Lincoln Park’s boundaries (North Avenue to Diversey Parkway, Lake Michigan to the Chicago River), plus a few just outside that residents use often.
• When a business closes, we take its listing down and send its page to its category.
