No one who knows Chicago would characterize Lincoln Park as the archetypal most "urban, dense, culturally relevant, heavily visited" core neighborhoods. It's relatively affluent, mature and quiet (as core neighborhoods go), just like the Yonge corridor.
Also, what does Alinea have to do with anything? Trendy hipster neighborhoods are known for $800 a person meals? Corporate account restaurants signify high density? Alinea is for rich older folks.
