The Chicago Diner American, Vegan, Diner, Vegetarian 3411 N Halsted St, Chicago (773) 935-6696  This has to be one of the best retaurants for vegans in America if not the world.

Pizzeria Due American Traditional, Pizzeria 619 N Wabash Ave, Chicago (312) 943-2400  I enjoyed the old town feel of this restaurant. The closeness of the tables made it a little cramped, but that ended up adding to the restaurant's charm. The pizza was like none I had ever experienced. It was almost drowning in tomato juices from ...

Resi's Bierstube German, Brewery/Pub/Tavern, Casual/Family, Bar 2034 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago (773) 472-1749  Beer garden is great and they have a good selection of beers but I think that the food at Lascet's Inn (across the street and one block west) is far better and the prices are more reasonable. Dont ever expect a free drink from Resi's owners either, ...
