LOVE this place. It's a "hole in the wall" old style diner with delicious and VERY reasonably priced breakfast and lunch. Try a chocolate chip pancake...you'll thank me later.

I've heard it's the BEST breakfast in town...I've got it on my "must" list. I've also heard the earlier you go, the better chance you have of getting in.

Sightseeing
I'm literally located right along Schiller Park. The park is always hopping with joggers, tennis, basketball, and in the summer, they host Shakespeare in the Park in the outdoor amphitheater!

Great gyros and greek salads! This tends to be the go-to backup restaurant if the line is too long at Thurman's...but don't let that fool you, they're GREAT as well.
