Hyde Park
Grocery options: 6. Treasure Island offers above-average staples; Hyde Park Produce has plenty of fresh stuff; and Zaleski & Horvath have brought a gourmet grocer to the ’hood.
Cheap eats: 5. Medici is the choice for families, students and milk-shake fiends, while Valois and Pancake House are king and queen of budget breakfasts. But that’s about all the news fit for print.
Swank spots: 3. La Petite Folie remains the go-to for special occasions, but Park 52 and Chant are newer and hipper (if less “dressy”) options. Aside from that, most folks celebrating something head north.
Foodie factor: 14
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?
