WICKER PARK — Twenty-five Wicker Park and Bucktown restaurants will offer adventurous diners a chance to eat their way through the popular neighborhoods by tasting small bites and appetizers along a chosen route.

Scheduled for 6-9 p.m. on Tuesday, the 7th annual Wicker Park Bucktown Fall Dinner Crawl is divided into “fork,” “knife” and “spoon” routes, with each journey featuring anywhere between eight and 12 stops. 

A fourth route added this year, a “plate” option, also includes a “Bizarre Bucktown Micro Walking Tour.” That itinerary — an abbreviated version of Gordon Meyer’s longer Bizarre Bucktown walking tour —  will take participants to stops between Club Lucky and Cortland’s Garage and tell stories of “hauntings, scandals, murders and activism,” according to a news release. 

Organized by the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce, tickets to the crawl are $35-$45 per person for each route through Sunday, and then $55 per person on the day of the crawl, if any tickets remain.
