Event Details
This lively and insightful walking food tour explores the vibrant and historic Pilsen neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, considered to be the heart of Mexican Chicago. Our tour focuses on the last 50 years of Pilsen’s history, which coincides with Mexican immigration to Chicago. Surrounded by factories, Pilsen has historically been a working-class neighborhood, but it is currently being gentrified by young professionals. This unique experience considers the emotionally packed process of “gentrification” and what it means for the community in Pilsen. We’ll also taste a variety of Mexican food, and reflect on our own roles in neighborhood changes.
