Delicious Orange Chicken
Orange chicken, egg roll, pot stickers, hot/sour soup. Skip the ginger spinach.
Very authentic. Expect dishes to be spicy. The garlic sliced pork is a bit on the saltier side, however still delicious. The fish and soft tofu dish is classic and a must!
Waffles are oh so good with a side of potatoes and some OJ..
The OJ is amazing, but it's worth buying some just to watch the machine juice it before your eyes. Bring your own straw though... the scooper straw just doesn't jive.
The fresh squeezed oj machine is awesome. I would also recommend the red velvet with white chocolate chip cookies or the blueberry mousse. Amazing.
Grab your Orange Julius from around the corner at DQ and head for the beautiful shaded playground in the heart of Lincoln Park (via Scoville) Read more.
Really nice place to play baseball, basket... or just relax.
This park is named after the magical land of Oz, created by L. Frank Baum. The children's author was a Lincoln Park resident in the 1890s.
Original Orange Julius!
The new chocolate covered blizzard is delicious.
Don't get the blizzard in the waffle cone, kind of disappointing.
Try the Parsnip With Burgundy Truffle, Vanilla And Orange - Surprisingly hearty and sweet for a vegetable course (via @Foodspotting)
Try the Tapas - Alinea "tapas"- bocadillo (left, iberico ham and manchego), gilda (top right, anchovy and olive) and patatas bravas (potatoes with chile and garlic). (via @Foodspotting)
Sardine sandwiches floating on titanium antennae, solidified olive oil -- Alinea may well be, and I do not say this lightly, the most important restaurant in America. -- Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods
You probably parked on Orange Chicken.
I love trader joe's! the staff is awesome and very helpful. Pretty economical to be organic and they have great products. I discover something new every time! But they discontinued the tortillas buu!
My first time to discover the great ORGANIC savings I can get from here. Move over "Whole Foods"... This is my new Grocery Home.
Pastas are a must, notably the veal ravioli with creamy porcini meat sauce and spaghetti chitarra carbonara. Save room for panna cotta with passion fruit coulis. Fairly priced Italian wines. Read more.
This neighborhood trattoria is known for its charming Italian staff and authentic Italian food. Be sure to try one of the nightly specials; they are always delicious. - Inspector
Very large specials menu highlighting the freshness of the food. All the pastas are delicious! Very lively and warm environment.
Really good and full filling tasting menu. Good food for the price!!!

Go here for Sunday Brunch. The 3-course Prix Fix is a good deal and you can hardly go wrong with any seafood choices here.
Always make a reservation, this place is very popular, bc the food is soo amazing!!
Gruyère fondue gives way to seafood, aged beef tenderloin, vegetables, or all three, which you bubble in hot oil at the table. For a sexy finish, dip fruit into a pot of flaming chocolate. Read more.
The Miami roll is amazing! My fiancé and I each get one every time we are here!
I have yet to find a better sushi place in Chicago. The rolls are reasonably priced and delicious. If you're feeling up for it, the Miami roll is my favorite. The place is BYOB so bring a bottle!
The tasting menu was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Definitely worth going to for a special occasion.

Cookie Monster cupcake the absolute best. Go early in the day (before 3) to have many options to choose from for their stuffed cupcakes-the ones they are known for. Also cute space for taking pictures

Rama tofu and chicken, ground basil chicken with fried rice, Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, shumai. All better than your average neighborhood Thai restaurant. Would definitely return.
$8 Lunch Special from 1130 am to 3 pm everyday @ SaiMai Thai restaurant
Pad thai beef was awesome.
The prosciutto pizza and the flattened, breaded chicken breast are delicious.
The Lasagna is absolutely fantastic. Order it, you will be satisfied.
Disappointing, especially considering the deliciousness of Riccardo Trattoria across the street. Greasy pizza, lackluster service, overall blah. Pass!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
