Get the buffalo fried cauliflower appetizer ...soooo good. Decor is very different and cool with AstroTurf on the ceiling. Only 2 blocks from my front door!

Potbellys sandwich shop has become and international chain but this is the first ever location that opened in 1977. Local favorite and kinda historical to the neighborhood. Still has the namesake original potbelly stove in the middle of place. About 8 blocks away from me, but great to stop at if your walking to zoo/beach/Halsted shopping.

In the nearby hip neighborhood of Wicker park (still only 1.3 miles away). This place is a lively scene with a super cool bar and large outdoor patio making it a funky hipster hangout. Serving Mexican street food, it has great Margaritas and tacos. Regular chicken tacos, but all really cool stuff like tilapia and pork belly tacos. (If you go here, make sure you stop at the secret speakeasy Violet Hour across the street for a drink after.)

Family-owned local Chicago chain restaurant. The place you go for the quintessential Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza with a butter crust.
The 3 main deep-dish places are Giordanos, Ginos East and Lou Malnati's, and they are in constant competition with each other for whose #1. My vote is for Lou Malnati's, hands down. (best sauce and crust)

They are limiting guest capacity due to Covid ....but it doesn't say they are requiring a reservation on their website?! Just make sure you make one, even though their website doesn't clearly say.
