With so many amazing restaurants lining Clark Street, you can't possibly try them all in a short period of time. Or can you? This summer, Cravings on Clark is your chance to do exactly that, for one night only.

Hosted by the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce, this one-night food crawl turns a stretch of Clark Street into a roving feast. Instead of committing to a single reservation, you’ll wander from spot to spot, sampling signature bites as you go. Think of it as dinner, but with a lot more walking and a lot less decision-making.

More than 15 restaurants, bakeries and cafés are joining in, each offering a small sample that shows off what they do best. You'll get all the flavors, from savory to sweet, and you might even discover your new favorite spot.

You’ll find familiar names like The Wieners Circle slinging 'dogs and attitude, while Firecakes Donuts will balance things out with a little more sweetness. In between, there’s a mix of global and comfort food options, from FALAFULL Mediterranean to Tanaka Ramen and The Fat Shallot. You'll have a completely new dining experience every few steps.

The crawl stretches along Clark between Diversey and Armitage, with a few stops branching off nearby. It’s all walkable, which is part of the charm. You’re not just eating your way through the night, you’re exploring the neighborhood one bite at a time.

Cravings on Clark takes place on June 24, and tickets come in tiers depending on how early you grab them. Early birds get the best deal, but even last-minute planners can join in. Get your tickets today, and remember to come hungry.

What: Cravings on Clark
When: June 24, 2026, 6-9pm
Where: Clark Street, from Diversey to Armitage and Diversey from Clark to Hampden
