Devon Avenue is a street that is rich in culture. Devon Avenue caters to people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand,Bosnia, Croatia, and many others. Sections of Devon Avenue have been given secondary names in honor of the people that inhabit the respective areas. Devon Avenue also goes by the names of Gandhi Marg, Mohammed Ali Jinnah Way, and Golda Meier Blvd.

Devon Street in Chicago doesn't quite give one a feeling of déjà vu, a transferred memory of the bustling bazaars of Old Delhi or Ranganathan Street in Madras, but it comes close. One marked difference is the lack of roadside hawkers and peddlers with their cacophonic calls, the stray cow or dog pottering around. Maybe even a snake charmer as is the western but mythical view of India. Manmeet Singh, from New Delhi, says "Oye, yaar, you get the desi feeling here. Hindi music, hordes of people on the streets, the congestion, the chaat, the tandoori ... are so attractive."
