Things to Do
The West Loop and Greektown are full of some of Chicago’s best restaurants. Here are some of Sarah and Eric’s favorite places:
Mr Greek Gyros
234 South Halsted Street, Chicago, IL 60607, (312) 906-8731
Eric has a gyro at Mr. Greek’s every Monday for lunch. For Eric’s money it’s the best gyro in city.
J.P. Graziano Grocery
901 West Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60607, (312) 666-4587
For Sarah’s money this is the best sandwich shop in Chicago.
Little Goat Diner
820 West Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60607, (312) 888-3455
Great place for breakfast or lunch. Sarah likes the patty melt, tonkatsu sandwich, crab dip, the milkshakes, the fries… basically the whole menu.
Au Cheval
800 West Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60607, (312) 929-4580
