Chicago > Boystown
Boystown, the commonly accepted nickname for the East Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago, is bordered by Lake Michigan on the east and Clark Street on the west, Irving Park Road to the north and Diversey Avenue to the south. Boystown gets its name because it caters to gay men.
The two main (north-south) avenues of Halsted St. and Broadway dominate the heart of this area. Broadway primarily offers many different themed shops stretching throughout the neighborhood while Halsted caters to the nightlife with more than 30 different gay and lesbian bars, nightclubs and restaurants.
