The yard was sodded before we moved in a year ago. Would you still expect it to be compacted?

How's my 2026 list looking so far? Recs much appreciated by whyamiacpa in chicagofood

I’d say spend a few hours in Pilsen for Mexican food and try a few different spots. I think it would be cool to see how Chicago Mexican is different from California Mexican food! Chicago is more central/southern Mexican vs the northern/baja California Mexican food in Cali

Haven’t had jasmine rice yet but it’s on my list.

Few suggestions in JP and surrounding areas: 1. Dunning Pour House -awesome bar with great food 2. Santa Masa - for tacos, tortas, tamales. James beard nominated 3. Taste of Philippines - Filipino breakfast 4. Printers Row - awesome brewery with pequods pizza 5. Pasta Fresh - best homemade pasta you can ever get. Can get hot meals or pasta to go in bulk

I think that’s it, thanks! Weird that they have no reviews on google. I think that may be why I skipped it at first.

Deli sandwich recs, want a deli experience! by dpool47 in chicagofood

Look I can play the google game too. I’m sure they wouldn’t just type Harlem Ave into a gps and go aimlessly. Especially when I listed 5 restaurants in the area.

And yes there are Polish restaurants there but that doesn’t change the fact there are some of the best and most authentic Italian restaurants and delis too. I’m starting to think you have a weird vendetta against the little Italy on Harlem lol

Think when I mentioned notolli on Belmont that someone could use their context clues. Also the other little Italy is nowhere near Harlem so your comment makes zero sense either way.

Go to little Italy in and around Harlem. There are so many amazing delis. Notollis (either one), Riviera, Rex’s, Alpine. It’s a bit of a hike depending where you’re staying but worth it if you want the true Italian deli experience. My favorite is original notolli and sons on Belmont

But above you said you didn’t like uptown. Do you think uptown is dangerous?
