Eastern European Restaurant · Noble Square · 31 tips and reviews
Justine Jablonska: Nothing fancy to look at but OH SO DEELISH. Soups are soooo good; served with sides of fresh Polish bread and butter. Also love their nalesniki (blintzes). And their cutlets. And oh so affordable!
Jeff Weinstein: Potato pancakes, pork cutlet, and beet juice. The woman running the place is totally in charge, just say yes.
Holly Wang: Get either the white borsch or cabbage soup, potato pancakes and mixed pierogis!

C R: Jackfruit cutlet and mint chutney is the bomb!
Smriti Sinha: Fusion style Indian food if you’re up for adventure! Most unique menu options I’ve ever seen — avocado chat, duck kulcha, jackfruit kofta, tuna bhel! The cocktails are amazing & sorted by taste notes!
Carlos Butler: The bar was great. Table service could be better.

Italian Restaurant · Heart of Chicago · 11 tips and reviews
Margo Andrews: Lasagna, clam sauce, and gnocchi were awesome! As well as the bread and more importantly, the service!
Jeff Willinger: The best advise I can give is to go to another place. UNLESS you have 2-3 hours for dinner in a non-A/C place, go somewhere else.
Sly Gam: Very good food and wonderful service!
Sara Spevack: We came on a Saturday and it was incredibly loud when he was playing all is instruments and the service was slow BUT the food is fantastic, the staff is delightful, and it was a fun time
Chicago magazine: When the urge for a few steins, a heaping platter of sausages, and crispy-skinned roast duck strikes, this Teutonic stalwart and its oompah band await. Read more.
Therese Kono: Simply the BEST! PROST!

Park · River North · 16 tips and reviews
Donna Johnson: This park is small but has something for everyone. A walk along the river, hills for picnics, a lot of benches for reading, a dog park, a playground for kids and it is near restaurants.
Kevin Newby: On a cold, sunny day, lay down on the play surface and act like a cat.
Kenny K: Expanded park reopened 7/19/12 with more swings, patio tables w/shade covers, and large half dome climbing structures. Renamed Montgomery Ward Park. Finally! They got it right this time.
