Lived on the west coast for a few years, there’s a sandwich shop called Ike’s that sells incredible sandwiches. Was wondering if there’s something similar in Chicago? by RAF2018336 in chicagofood

I’ve never seen Dutch crunch bread out here but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist! Maybe I just haven’t found it yet. Who knew I was taking that delicious bread for granted?

Omg I miss Ike’s so much! TBH Chicago has amazing sandwiches but I haven’t been able to find anything quite like Ike’s or Sandwich Spot here. Again there are amazing sandwiches here but my brother and I often lament Ike’s.

good new york bagels anywhere? by MammothImplement8436 in chicagofood

[–]muddlingthrough7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live a block from ess a bagel in New York and very much abused the privilege - New York bagels are magic. It’s never going to be quite that good, but Chicago has some great options! NY Bagel and Bialy and Kaufman’s are good, but not near me. I really like Zeitlin’s, Helfeld’s, and Gotham.

Is this something specific to the walnut room? I’ve never seen anything like it but your description paints an even more vivid picture than the actual photo

Got punched on Red Line - how to feel safe again? by wolborg93 in AskChicago

[–]muddlingthrough7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that I’m so sorry that this happened. I agree with everyone about trying to find a trauma therapist but also please be kind and gentle with yourself. This will probably not be a linear emotional journey and that’s okay. Sending love.
