Wicker Park/Bucktown
Grocery options: 8. Jewel covers the basics; two carnicerias offer Mexican staples; while Olivia’s, Goddess & Grocer and W Crossings cater to busy foodies craving gourmet-to-go and home cooks looking for fancy ingredients.
Cheap eats: 4. Budget options are few, but Sultan’s Market, Harold’s Chicken, Potbelly and the new Bon Bon Vietnamese Sandwiches do the trick.
Swank spots: 8. Tablecloth dining is rare, but elevated eats can be found at upscale-casual restaurants like Takashi, the Bristol, Duchamp, Mado, bin wine café, Mirai, Mana, Bluebird and HotChocolate.
Foodie factor: 20
We've updated the Andersonville page and it does now include the much desired, Great Lake Pizza. Cheers!
How could you forget Great Lake Pizza! Oh man, that place is amazing.
As a foodie, I'm drawn to Piatto Pronto, Patisserie Natalina (Italian pastries), Hop Leaf and the cheap eats at Kopi cafe (try the nachos and the carrot cake). Oh- and the new Antica pizzaria is delicious- authentic wood-fired pizza- and tortellini w/cream sauce. Andersonville grocery: A new flagship Dominick's will replace the existing Dominick's (in 2010?) at Sheridan/Broadway, there is Edgewater produce and the awesome Italian Imports specialty store Piatto Pronto both on Clark.
Where's Lincoln Square?
How can you not rate Lakeview?
