It's #1 in my super biased opinion. I spent many nights in my 20s in Wrigleyville. I personally don't like the way that the area has changed however. It's traded it's culture in many ways for corporate sponsored amenities. Wrigleyville use to be full of bars and I'd even say a bit seedy, but now it's very much corporatized and modernized all around it, which isn't surprising given how all stadiums across modern sports has moved that way. This just bothers me personally haha. Then again, it's probably much nicer for most visitors than it used to be lol.
The Ricketts also used some shady tactics to swoop up the real estate around the field, example the big score boards and signs to reduce the view from the rooftops was deliberate to kill the rooftop business overnight, and now they own most of the rooftops. Seems the plan is to tear some down and build a new high rise apartments.
Greed continues to take a sledgehammer to Wrigleyville's neighborhood charm https://cubbiescrib.com/posts/greed-continues-to-take-sledgehammer-to-wrigleyville-neighborhood-charm
When I refer to the neighborhood, it was circa 1994😀 Lefty Dizz was still alive and playing a little blues club right next to Wrigley.

Hard to argue with it being 1 on some people’s lists.
