| Greektown (Halsted north of the Eisenhower) |
- Giordano's Pizza - 815 W. Van Buren Street (in back of the
parking lot at the corner of Van Buren and Halsted, just over the Eisenhower). OK, so it's not Greek, but it is pizza, and the closest stuffed pizza to campus.
- Artopolis Bakery Cafe & Agora - 306 S. Halsted
Street. Very nice lunch choices, and excellent for an afternoon sweet with coffee. Just walk north on Halsted, a block or so north of the Eisenhower.
- Pantheon - 314 S. Halsted Street. Keep walking north on Halsted
past Artopolis, and you come to this venerable Greek restaurant. Of course, along the way you have passed half a dozen other Greek restaurants.
- Greek Isles - 200 S. Halsted Street. A local favorite for
sort-of cheap Greek food, especially the lamb dishes.
|
| Randolf Street (North of Campus - a long walk) |
- La Sardine - 111 N. Carpenter Street (directly across from Harpo Studios). A French Bistro, a local favorite; typical lunch bill $15-20.
- Red Light - 820 W. Randolph Street. Asian with a nice French twist.
- Marché - 833 West Randolph Street. A grande French Brasserie.Very nice, but a little pricy.
- Blackbird - 619 W. Randolph Street (east of Halsted on Randolph). This is considered one of the better
restaurants in Chicago. If you want to have a very fine lunch or dinner, try this. But don't ask about the price.

| Other Places |
- Manny's Deli - 1141 S. Jefferson ( 10 minute walk from campus, across the Dan Ryan along Taylor Street East). Bet you
can't eat even one! This is an old style Jewsih Deli, with seating for 200. Or as one visiting speaker said, it reminded him of eating in the University Canteen back in Moscow. Who else
eats here? Mayor Daley & President
Obama to name a couple of patrons. Worth the walk; typical lunch $10-12.
- Bourgeois Pig Cafe - 738 W Fullerton Avnue. Not close to campus, this is located near the DePaul
Campus on the north side, near the intersection of Halsted & Fullerton. But a cult classic, with excellent sandwiches and ambience; typical bill $10.
