Chicago is one of the most segregated cities in the U.S., and although Chicago’s South Side has a rich history of food, drink, and local businesses, many North Side residents have never even heard of them.

Join Read & Run Chicago, Chicago Public Libraryand our local run club partner Onthe9 for a six-mile guided fun run OR a three-mile walk through Chicago’s Avalon Park, Chatham, and Greater Grand Crossing neighborhoods with authors Monica Eng and David Hammond inspired by their book, Made in Chicago: Stories Behind 30 Great Hometime Bites. 

After the route, stick around for food samples, book sales, and book signing with Monica Eng and David Hammond at the Avalon Branch of the Chicago Public Library.
