Lee Wing Wah Restaurant
I have to admit that they used to have good foods, but lately I 've been dissapointed at their food. The taste of the food is just average now, I suspect they don't have the same cook/chef like they did before. Don't even think of trying their fruit smooties, it taste yucky ! They do, however have a pretty good deal on lunches during weekdays if you don't care about the taste. The lunch menu includes soups and spring roll.
Swedish-American Historical Society
A museum that is in the busy intersection of Clark and Foster right at the heart of Andersonville, a neighbourhood in northside of Chicago. I went here when Al and Tipper Gore were doing book signing in Chicago several years ago. The museum display all Swedish art and culture craft, basically if you want to get to know Swedish history and art, just stop by this place. Not far from the museum, there is a bakery called Swedish bakery, another must see bakery in Chicago.
Museum Store Books Gifts Jewelry & Cards
This store is located inside the Art Institute of Chicago is usually visited by tourist after they're done visiting the museum. They sell miniature of stuff displayed in the museum, books related to the museum also souvenir of Chicago. They also sell variety of art works from cards, scarf, ties etc. The price is higher compared to what other local store, but if you find someting interesting, buy it, because you might not be able to find it again the next day or in other store.
Ruben's Auto Svc
We used to go to this place for car service quite a lot when the owner was still an honest one. However, over the year he became so greedy and wanting every penny and anyway to get the biggest profit. They charge lower than midas and jiffy lube, but one time we found out that he used a wire, a cheap wire to install some stuff under my car, which is not supossed to be done. They are the biggest rip off in auto service, avoid tem at all cost !
Northwestern Memorial Wellness
We had several incident that need emergency care, and we went to the emergency room in this hospital several time. They are pretty quick in giving service comparing to other hospital that we've been to in Chicago. The residence are supervised by the doctor on duty. The staff are so helpful and friendly. We left the hospital knowing that we were taken good care of.
Saint Francis Hospital
If I live in the surrounding area, I would go to this hospital as my primary care. My friend had 3 of her baby in this hospital, and she got the best care when she was pregnant, even when her first was having such a short and difficult life in the hospital. They are very sensitive in walking with her through that difficult time, and was giving her extra attention and care with her 2nd and 3rd pregnancy. I too have to agree that parking can be a challenge in this hospital parking lot, but it's free !
Enrique Beckmann, MD
I was having a heavy bleeding when I was pregnant, and the ambulance brought me to this hospital from my house. Seeing me bleeding and confirmed by the fire department medical staff, the front officer who admitted me asked me to WALK and to a urine sample. What a horrible service it was. I decided not to spend any money in that hospital and took a taxi to my primary doctor's hospital. Please, if you have other choice, avoid this hospital at all cost !
Up Down Tobacco Shop
I was here looking for Tobacco for my father, coming with no knowledge of tobacco at all. The guy who took care of us was really patient and helpful in giving us explanation and deciding what to buy. They pretty much sell almost any kind of tobacco from almost everywhere, of course not Cuban because it is still illegal to sell it here in the US. However, they sell some tobacco that are very similar to Cuban tobacco. Very highly recommended!
White Glove Car Wash & Detailing
After doing the oil change, I always get a free car wash in this place, so far I've been really happy with the result. They also give me $6 off for coming again in the next 30 days. The car wash was done by hand and they vacum the interior, when they're done, check the car, if you're not completely satisfied, tell them, they will fix it for you. If you want to have a fast service, try to avoid weekend, because this place is very busy in the weekend. Highly recommended !
Milito's Mobil Gas Station
We went to this place several times when our car had problem, and the guy over there gave us the detail of what went wrong with it. They were ok when we decided to check around first pricewise. There is this older man in this place who is very helpful and friendly, he basically would not push you into using their service. You can also have your oil change here. A good place to go if you live in the neighbourhood instead of going to midas.
