Food Scene

The 55 day dry aged ribeye is literally the best piece of steak I've ever had. This cozy little steakhouse is only 4 blocks away!!! You travel on airbnb because you want to see Chicago like a true Chicagoan. All of the touristy spots like Gibsons, Capital Grille, and Smith and Wollensky are awesome. And personally, I really love Wildfire. Check out any of those places, and you'll be happy! However, just 4 blocks away from you is the best steak house in a steak house city, in my opinion. Google it. It's won tons of local accolades. This cozy little neighborhood joint is chef driven, and unbelieavably good. Get reservations before your trip to assure a spot! Here's the number for a reservatio

AWESOME Indian food 1 mile away. This Indian cuisine restaurant is so good. I love it all, but the chicken korma and paleek paneer are my favorite. Dine in and it's a BYOB. Very affordable and you can bring your own wine and/or beer. They also deliver!! Call 773 697 7114 for delivery or reservations

This is my favorite pizza delivery in our neighborhood. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try the Chicago style deep dish pizza and ask for the burnt cheese caramelized crust for an extra buck.
