Chicago’s 50th Ward

Home on the Web

The 50th ward of Chicago is on the far north side and is home to many ethnicities, religions, and races. There is no other place in the city where you can visit an Indian restaurant, a Kosher bakery, and a Muslim bookstore all within a few blocks of each other. If you live here, you know how wonderful it is. If you don’t, come on up and see all of what the residents of the 50th ward have to offer.

Take a look around the website, and please feel free to ask us anything.
