Eating Around the City
Chicago's cosmopolitan makeup is
reflected in its plethora of ethnic restaurants. Italian food, ranging
from hearty deep-dish pizza (developed in 1943 at Pizzeria Uno) to
delicately crafted creations presented at stylish trattorias, continues to
dominate a very dynamic scene. In recent years there's been a surge of
popularity for New American cuisine. Thai restaurants still thrive, as do
ones with a broad Mediterranean slant, many of which serve tapas; and
there are still plenty of opportunities to sample more longstanding
Chicago cuisines - Eastern European, German, Mexican, Chinese, Indian,
even Burmese and Ethiopian. Of course, a number of establishments serve
good old-fashioned barbecue ribs, a legacy of Chicago's days as the
nation's meatpacker. And no visit is complete without sampling a messy
Italian beef sandwich, or a Chicago-style hot dog, laden with tomatoes,
onions, hot peppers and a pickle.
The largest concentration of
restaurants is found north and west of the Loop.
To the west, Greektown, around
Halsted Street at Jackson Boulevard, and Little Italy, on and around
Taylor Street, are worth a look.
The Near North and River North
areas harbor a good number of upscale places.
Chinatown, though not pretty, is
a predictably good neighborhood for Cantonese and Szechuan food.
Other
Thoughts
When it comes to dining, Chicago
has it all – and some of the best in the nation. Of course we’re known for
our Chicago pizza, hot dogs, beef sandwiches and Midwestern steaks, but we
have so much more to offer.
It’s difficult to make dining recommendations in the Chicago area because
there are so many to choose from. Be sure to check with your hotel
concierge, family, friends and business acquaintances who are likely to
know the hot spots.
For a Romantic
Dinner for two, try the Signature Room at the 95th located in the Hancock
Building, or perhaps Seasons at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago.
For
Excellent Italian, choose Coco Pazzo at Hubbard and Franklin Streets,
Rosebud on Rush (near Superior Street) or Vinci at Halsted and Willow
Streets.
For Mexican, we like Frontera Grill on North Clark Street at
Hubbard Street or, for an economical excellent choice, Las Mananitas on
Halsted Street south of Addison.
If your taste buds are asking for
Seafood, you can’t beat Nick’s Fishmarket at Clark and Monroe Streets or
McCormick’s & Schmick’s located on Chestnut near Rush Street.
Our choices
for Fine Steaks include Gibson’s and Tavern on Rush.
Chinatown has many
fine choices for authentic Chinese Cuisine.
Oh, and back to the Chicago favorites:
We recommend Pizzeria Uno and Lou Malanati's for the
Best Pizza.
For Chicago Hot Dogs and
Beef Sandwiches, Portillos
(Chicago/suburban locations), as well as Buona Beef and Johnnie’s
Beef (suburban locations), are highly recommended.
