Whether calling Lincoln Park home or just dropping in, Chicago's cognoscenti head north for shopping, dining and spa-ing, of course.

Stop, drop in and roll at Kyoto Sushi (2534 N. Lincoln Ave.), our favorite local sushi spot. Be sure to grab your favorite vino because this newly renovated spot is still, thankfully, BYOB. Buck the carb-free trend and stop by Breadsmith (1710 N. Wells St.) for junk-free and fat-free bread and even scrumptious snacks for your four-legged BFF. And no Lincoln Park roundup would be complete without mentioning our favorite Chicago pasta spot, Pasta Palazzo (1966 N. Halsted St.), a super-intimate restaurant whose open kitchen and limited seating ensures delectable, piping-hot pasta every time.

Satisfy your craving for saucy underthings at Isabella Fine Lingerie (840 W. Armitage Ave.) before grabbing some retail therapy at DNA 2050 (2122 N. Halsted St.), the denim destination boasting a well-edited selection from Rich & Skinny, Seven, G Star and more. Then, take your daughter or little sis to Frankie's on the Park (2322 N. Clark St.), a hip shopping destination aimed at teens and preteens. Dare we say we've been known to pick up some fun pieces for ourselves as well?

Lincoln Park boasts some of Chicago's top pampering and stylin' destinations, too. Here are a few of our favorites...
