Food scene

Just around the corner from the Dugout, this is, hands down, my favorite BBQ place. The food comes out quickly and it is delicious. If you like smoked brisket, check out the Burnt Ends!

Neighborhoods

Located just a short trip north Lakeview, Andersonville has LOTS of great shopping and restaurants/bars to check out. Always lots of people out and about enjoying the area. Voted one of the Top 10 neighborhoods in the world!

City advice

Ways to save

Avoid the tourist traps!

There are great places to eat around Wrigleyville, but be sure to check out online menu prices before you go. There are a LOT of places that have mediocre food priced for royalty, just because of their location near Wrigley. I won't name names but you'll see it on their menu. Smoke Daddy is a GREAT place to get quality food at a reasonable price - some places further down the street are not. Also check out places online for drink/food specials.
