TITLE: Owners, Lake Street Barbering Co. MY NEIGHBORHOOD: Koop: "I've lived in Pilsen for a little over 5 years, and I can see why it's become the hottest place in the city. Laboy: Humboldt Park.

Randolph St., 312-492-7775; barsiena .com) in the West Loop, a 10-minute walk from the shop. The food is incredible, and my man Marko is usually behind the bar."
