A pizza joint that specializes in interesting combinations as well as the standards. Dare you try the After-School Special (sausage and marshmallows)?

A comfort food/diner type place that doesn’t mind adding an extra calorie of 500. They are best known for serving breakfast all day long.

Not the greatest Mexican food, but good enough and after a pitcher or two of their famous margaritas, you’ll have a vague notion of what you ate anyway.

Nothing remarkable here, but you don’t have to leave to Halstead to get your Thai on. And like most Thai places, the food is ready pretty much as soon as you order it.

American that flirts with French (and vice versa), this romantic bistro is a getaway that isn’t that far away. Sit in front to watch the boys as they pass by.

A nice homey feel matches the menu at this popular Italian place. Brunch here is among the best in the city, so be prepared to wait your turn.
