Pilsen is a neighborhood on Chicago's Lower West Side that was originally settled by Eastern European immigrants in the late 19th century and later became predominantly Mexican. To get there from Loyola, take the Red Line to Lake station and transfer to the Pink Line, exiting at 18th street. Notable attractions include the National Museum of Mexican Art and Nuevo Leon restaurant. Pilsen is known for its Hispanic-inspired murals and art that decorate the buildings. Traveling there in a group enhanced the experience by providing a comfortable environment to explore the neighborhood's cultural influences, including Spanish street signs and shops catering to Hispanic tastes.
