I'm Hungry but I'm By Myself

All my friends are working/busy and I want to go somewhere to eat/drink! There's no shame in my game.

1. Pastoral

53 E Lake St
Chicago, IL 60601

Categories: Cheese Shops, Delis

Neighbourhood: The Loop

9/30/2008

Just from reading the Yelp reviews, I knew I was going to love Pastoral.

I can't wait to try every freakin' sandwich in this place. So far I can knock the Sinfully Healthy and Santorini off my list. Both were delicious. I also like their wine…More »

Category: Diners

Neighbourhood: North Center

3.5 starts

I really dug Le Sabre. When it comes to breakfast food, I'm not into fancy concoctions--I just want the basics (and to not have to wait for a table, which we didn't). Our food came out within 10 minutes and everything was up to par.…More »

Category: Hot Dogs

Update - 9/11/2008

Skyway Dog has a wall with a print-out of its Yelp reviews! I found this quite entertaining as I waited for my food.

And, the workers here are smarties. The local newspaper has a picture of Skyway Dog employees (all girls). They have high grade points…More »

10/8/2008 First to Review

Yeah that's right, I gave Culver's 5 stars.

Thank God I did not discover Culver's until my late 20's. Or else I would be 20 lbs. heavier.

I thought it was urban legend, these butter burgers and frozen custard... Instead of value meals they have…More »

Dependable. Cheap. Nearby.

This Thai place is not really good and not really bad but I do LOVE their lunch special. From 11-3 every day you can get an appetizer, soup, and lunch sized entrée for $5.99. I usually get the Spicy Basil but I heard several…More »

How could I pass up the chance to be the 100th review for Dollop?

First, I would like everyone to take a moment of silence for the nearby and recently closed Urban Tea Lounge. May it rest in peace as one of the coolest places in Chicago.

Like many have…More »

The BOB burger, which has a fried egg on it, is pretty damn good.

I LOVE the Global Foods Hot Bar. It's a smorgasbord of good, hot food. Don't forget about it when looking for lunch options.

Workers are helpful & friendly.

GET YOUR PARKING TICKET VALIDATED OR ELSE YOU WILL HOLD UP A WHOLE LINE OF CARS!

In heaven they will serve breakfast all day. Just like at Blue Max.

I met up with an old friend for lunch at this quaint, cute, bustling café. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. I got the quiche of the day and it was quite large and came with…More »

Recently updated lists from Beth M.

A Midwesterner in Montreal (11) We visited Montreal during December of 2009. Here are some places we went:	New Mexico Getaway (Taos, Santa Fe, & Albuquerque) (21) "If you ever go to New Mexico, it will itch you for the rest of your life." ~ Georgia O'Keeffe, 1960
Where the Hotties Are (18) My mama always said, "You never stop looking til you die." Even though I'm married, I still have a pulse and can spot a hot guy when I see one. PS - I am not open for business. Here are some places that hotties have been spotted:	Antiquing My Way Through Michiana (11) The Chicago Reader article "Beyond New Buffalo" inspired me to go on an antiquing trip with my mom & sister in Southwest Michigan & Northwest Indiana. Bargains and bonding made this trip memorable! I plan to go back in a month or two.
Bye Bye Buena Park (15) I lived in BP for nearly 4 years and will always hold a special place in my heart for this great neighborhood.	THE BANNED LIST (8) It's not you, it's me. I don't like places that suck.
Oh snap! I have to entertain a 5 year old! (14) I do not have any children but I have 3 adorable nieces and 1 cutie-patootie nephew. Entertaining a child in Chicago is not as easy as you think but here are some ideas:	Mini-Vay-K to Michigan! Great Lakes, Great Times! (7) You live in Chicago, right? I can tell because you look TIRED, STRESSED, and OVER-WORKED. Take a mini-vay-k! Just over an hour drive from Chicago and you can be in southwest Michigan where you can visit wineries, hit up the casino, and GET THE HELL OUT OF CHICAGO. And be honest, don't you love those http://michigan.org commercials?
South Side + Lost + Hungry (10) I'm lost on the South Side and hungry. Where should I eat?	I need a baby gift, stat! (3) I live in Chicago where there are unique baby stores, right?
