Food Scene

Best Indian food around without the longer trip up to Devon St. Everything is delicious, but our favorites are the gobi manchurian, the chicken chettinad, and the butter masala. They're also great for pick-up or delivery, if you don't want to eat out.

This place has THE best pies we've found in Chicago. They also make killer baked goods (scones, cookies, savory stratas). They also have an old school ice cream fountain and can make floats/sodas/etc.
