Food Scene

This was the restaurant in Logan Square that first started the rejuvenation of the neighborhood. When you think of Logan, you think of Lula. It's also Ira Glass's favorite restaurant. I go here often.

Great bar and restaurant. Lots of whiskeys and fine food on the Midwestern heavy side. Got a Bib Gourmand when it first opened.

Amazing place for Macau food. Named by many publications as one of the best restaurants in Chicago, if not the US. They also have a great custard tart served for Sunday brunches.

People like this brunch spot (only open until 3p). It's cute and somewhat new to the neighborhood. I've only been there a handful of times (the food came out warm, not hot), but people swear by it.

Serves fried chicken with honey butter. They also have tasty sides. The owners started as an underground dining club, then moved to opening up an actual restaurant.

Consistently named the top restaurant for burgers in Chicago. There's usually a line, there's always metal music playing.

Drinks & Nightlife

Brought the affordable cocktail scene back to Chicago. Has live music almost every night and a patio that's open in the summer. Very tasty.

Your typical neighborhood bar. Unpretentious, located on a residential street, and with nice people behind the bar. Their food is pretty good and nicely priced too -- they have a daily mac'n'cheese.

Owned by the same people who own Violet Bar (a fancy speakeasy) in Wicker Park. The drinks here are OK and they serve Cajun food. But I think you're better off going to another bar I've listed.
