Like my fellow Chicagoan and VT friend "dlandt" says... Get out and see Chicago's neighborhoods! If you like authentic Euopean-style pastries, Vienna Bakery is a great place to visit. A few small tables too - to sit and relax while you savor your goodies. Inexpensive and they serve a great cup of coffee! It is located on the far Northwest side of Chicago - out in one of the nicest "hoods!" Leave a Comment Phone: 773-685-4166Other Contact: 5411 W. Addison St.

Rainbow Cone
This place has been around for 70+ years and its history is as rich as its flavorful ice cream.
You will see long lines of families extending from one end of the block to the other just waiting to get their hands on some tasty treats.
The Ice Cream is home made and tastes so much better than any chain stores that I have ever encountered.
I once worked there as a kid and frequently saw people traveling from as far as Wisconsin and Indiana just to get their ice cream fix.

On the West Side of Chicago, not far from Chicago Stadium.
There is an older guy who works out of his garage that cuts oil drums and makes them into BBQ grills.
His grills are famous among the black community and are very very cheap.
If you are ever outside grilling and think to yourself... that yes, you indeed need a BBQ grill from the ghetto of Chicago, I highly recommend that you go to this gentelmans house.
A word to the wise would be going there durring the day, the near-do-wells that cause all of the trouble have a tendency of getting up around 3pm. Any time before then will garentee you a safe trip.
The guys name is Al Hobson
after locating his house go through the ally and you will see him working out of his garage. It is the only one with the HUGE security gate on it. Leave a Comment Phone: 773-277-6952Other Contact: 1244 s komensky

Finding the Billy Goat Tavern was an unexpected surprise. I knew that John Belushi had based his classic Cheezeborger Cheeseborger restaurant sketch on Saturday Night Live on a restaurant in Chicago. But I did not know the name of the restaurant or if it still existed. Then I came across the Billy Goat Restaurant. Great surprise. I literally got lost one afternoon and ended up on a street level below the main street and stumbled onto the Billy Goad Tavern. Sometimes it pays to get lost in a strange city. Leave a Comment

I'm listing this as an "Off the Beaten Track" tip because I didn't go to this cafe. I passed it after leaving Marshall Field's and just had to take it's picture. Isn't it cute? Leave a Comment

Hala Kahiki in the 'burbs.' Just outside of Chicago, this is a cool little bar with an extensive drink menu. It's a Hawaiian themed bar and all the waitresses wear mu-mus (don't know how to spell it!)!!! They have the coolest drinks! You can try the Suffering Bastard or the Tikki Puka Puka or any of the bowls for 2! They have really great coffee drinks too! They ONLY serve alcohol! :) They are located at 2834 N. River Rd. River Grove, IL 60171. 708-456-3222.

For late night dinning, go to the Weiner Circle. Great late night eats, but be prepared for the sultry service. Note: You get better service if you are rude, including vulgarity!!!! Leave a Comment

Demon Dogs -- This place sells cheap greasy hot dogs with whatever you want on them and greasy fries made from potatos that they slice themselves. It's directly underneath Fullerton station on the CTA Red Line train. So there are lots of places like Demon Dogs in Chicago, and here's the difference: Demon Dogs is owned by the manager of the band 'Chicago' and is cluttered with memorebelia, such as an autographed photo of Jay Leno consuming a 'Demon Dog'.

Lutz Continental Bakery and Restaurant
Montrose Blvd.
This is WAY North and you'll need a car to get there.
