Eating
Chicago's cosmopolitan makeup is reflected in its
plethora of ethnic restaurants. Italian food, ranging from hearty
deep-dish pizza (developed in 1953 at Pizzeria Uno ) to delicately
crafted creations presented at stylish trattorias, continues to dominate a very
dynamic scene. In recent years there's been a surge of popularity for New
American cuisine. Thai restaurants still thrive, as do ones with a
broad Mediterranean slant, many of which serve tapas; and there are still
plenty of opportunities to sample more longstanding Chicago cuisines - Eastern
European, German, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, even Burmese and Ethiopian. Of
course, a number of establishments serve good old-fashioned barbecue ribs
, a legacy of Chicago's days as the nation's meatpacker. And no visit is
complete without sampling a messy Italian beef sandwich, or a Chicago-style hot
dog, laden with tomatoes, onions, hot peppers and a pickle.

The largest concentration of restaurants is found north and west of the
Loop . To the west, Greektown , around Halsted Street at Jackson
Boulevard, and Little Italy , on and around Taylor Street, are worth a
look. The Near North and River North areas harbor a good number of
upscale places. Chinatown , though not pretty, is a predictably good
neighborhood for Cantonese and Szechuan food. Many bars and cafés listed in the
"Nightlife and Entertainment" section also serve snacks and light meals, and
dozens of places in the Loop offer great breakfast and lunch specials.
