Chicagoist • February 8, 2017The spread here is pretty huge, but it has that indie bookstore touch I love so much: notes from staff with recommendations you otherwise might not have considered.

Jackie S. • June 16, 2013Best kept secret in Chicago. Clean and not crowded!

Meg S. • September 29, 2014Vendors are friendly. Patrons are friendly. Great atmosphere. Lots of bees, though.

David W. • July 6, 2021Love this beach! Always something going on.

KEITH G. • November 4, 2016Best shrimp and fries I've had since I was a kid. My grandfather made shrimp like this when I was younger. You'll eat every scrumptious pound of them. BRAVO you guys rock. I'll be back for sure.

Audra A. • October 19, 2011This is a great shop! I love it! I have purchased some great pieces of Jewlery here!

Jonathan F. • September 8, 2015A small, seemingly-hidden beach on Northerly Island. It can get pretty busy on summer holiday weekends. There is a nearby taco stand for food and refreshments.

Demiah B. • November 22, 2011The 8:08 train never arrives on time. But don't be deceived:all other trains are on schedule!

Charla B. • July 23, 2013The best car wash in Chicago. They have spevials almost every day.

Mary L. • August 24, 2014The Maxwell Street Market is a free outdoor mkt with a wide range of merchandise, produce & food vendors. I had $3 tacos from @LaPaz. Each taco is the size of more than 2 tacos & tastes really good.

Brian P. • November 27, 2011Perfect spot for a run during the mornings in the summer!

Elizabeth F. • May 16, 2010Try the puerto rican paella. As chef Mario says a mixture of pr and Spain in one dish. Pistachio ice cream also delicious.

Elizabeth S. • March 3, 2013Laboratory Dancers offer a pay-what-you-can modern technique class here Thursday evenings. It's the cheapest technique class in Chicago and it werks you out!

Robert J. • March 13, 2012Make sure you buy your ticket before you get on the train. 3 extra when you buy on the train! :-)

Kyle W. • February 17, 2013Polenta fries. That's all you need to know.

OakStreet • August 30, 2011Oak Street is Chicago's luxury shopping destination, home to designer boutiques and local gems (many are on the second and third level - don't forget to look up!)

Michael "NaS" M. • March 4, 2016One of the only Maxwell spots that sell tacos.

Anamaria H. • August 15, 2014One of my favorite exhibits I've ever been to! Be sure to check out the musical instruments the cultural groups brought over! They make sounds you've never heard before!

Vincent J. • August 25, 2011Prime location for trainspotting. 6 tracks. 4 commuter 2 freight. Plus a great view of downtown Chicago. Busiest time from 5-6pm weekdays

Teresa C. • September 29, 2012Here's a tip for you: Don't change the name of my venue. Change the name of your own venue. Leave this one alone.
