Andersonville
Grocery options: 7. Residents swear by the cheap and fresh produce at Edgewater Produce, while staples can be picked up at Jewel. Middle East Bakery and Pars Grocery cover everything from spices to coffee to hummus.
Cheap eats: 6. Technically, budget spots like Alice & Friends, Ethiopian Diamond and Abyssinia along Broadway are in Edgewater, but they’re close enough to count for something. And while it's not exactly cheap, the sweets at Pasticceria Natalina are worth a fiver anytime.
Swank spots: 8. Anteprima tops this list for delicious regional Italian; Great Lake makes one of the best pizzas in town; Big Jones serves up Big Easy flavors in a classy setting; and Hopleaf, while not exactly swanky, is a great gastropub-night-out.
Foodie factor: 21
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?
