Eating Out in Towns with More than 2 (and 1/2) Resturants
I love Dillingham. I honestly do, more often than not. But I'll admit that there are lots of things available in Chicago that are not available in Dillingham.
Example: Eating Out
Yesterday was nice and shows two of the kinds of places that exist in Chicago, that aren't part of my life for most of the year.
Place #1: Suzi's Tea and Cafe
Chosen because I liked the name and it struck me as cozy. In Lakeview, on Lincoln Ave, this place somehow escaped my previous notice. Over 135 kinds of tea (including a damn good local blend of darjeeling), hardy food (with a few bazillion choices), friendly service, plus owned and run by locals. It was the comfort of the small-town with the choices of the city.
Place #2: Outback
No kidding, I'd never been to one before. Good selection of beers (US, Brit, and Aussie), good food (obviously featuring heavily with red meat, but not just), no one hassled us for taking up table space while we waited for our friend, and if the waitress thought we were weird for occassionlly slumping over on one another or busting into song (all when sober) it didn't show.
For the most part I find only having a few choices in Dillingham to be easier, but I'm really enjoying the variety while I'm here.
Don't get me started on theater...
