Vong's Thai Kitchen
Vong's has a nice atmosphere. The food is a little pricier than most Thai restaurants but I think they have the best pad thai. They have a good selection of bite size desserts and fun bubble teas.
Tuffy Tire And Auto Service Diversey
Convenient location and they let you drop off your car and leave the keys before they are open. They also typically fix the car the same day so you can pick it up on your way home from work. They are expensive though and most times I have been there, they have found additional problems that are quite expensive to fix.
Maza Restaurant
Great Lebanese food. Really good lentil and carrot soups. They have excellent wine as well. I took Vegan friends there and they loved it. Small restaurant but can accomodate smaller groups.
Chalk Preschool
Great preschool in Lincoln Park/Lakeview area. Full time program available for 2 year olds through 5 year olds. The students do not need to be potty trained. Really good curriculum. They also take the kids to the park around the corner when it's nice out, and they have an indoor activity center for cold weather days.
Marks Chop Suey On Halsted
I thnk this is the best Chinese delivery restaurant in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area. The General Tso chicken is really good as is their fried rice. It usually takes an hour for delivery.
Chicago's Pizza
Great deep dish pizza and they deliver until 5 a.m. Great for dining in as well. Kids are welcomed here and they have special make your own pizzas for kids.
Caf������ Ba-Ba-Reeba!
Great sangria and really great food. Really good breakfast option as well. I hosted a wedding shower and it was an excellent location for our private party. Staff was attentive and the breakfast/brunch menu and food was excellent.
Jack's Bar and Grill
Great food and awesome outdoor beer garden. Consistently good food. Great concept - one side is more of a sports bar with TVs and the other side is a nice wine bar.
Tarantino's
Tarantinos is one my favorite Italian restaurants in the city. The atmosphere is great - perfect for dates or dining with friends. The pasta dishes are fantastic.
Nacional 27
Great options for cocktails. Really good empanadas and one of the best steaks in the city! Really fun atmosphere both in bar and restaurant and consistently good service.
