bucktown is also good, but it is still kind of young and party, which she said she wasn't looking for.

Which is why I didn't recommend it. Palmer Square is not all that different from Bucktown.

I think Irving Park might swing a little too far toward a "settled down with a family" neighborhood. I wouldn't call it fun, esp. for a couple in their 20s. It has its moments here and there, but the things that would make it interesting for a couple in their 20s are scattered far and wide. So with that in mind, I'd suggest Logan Square (IMO a more grown-up version of Bucktown) and maybe Roscoe Village (a more grown-up version of Lakeview).

Well, according to that map, and anyone who knows Chicago, southern Austin would be the West side. By no means is it "Far Northwest".
