Zizi's Cafe
- Mediterranean, Turkish
- 4.5 Stars, 129 Reviews
- 2825 N. Sheffield Ave.

Flub A Dub Chub's
- Hot Dogs, Burgers
- 4.5 Stars, 364 Reviews
- 3021 N. Broadway

Panes Bread Cafe
- Sandwiches, Desserts
- 4.5 Stars, 439 Reviews
- 3002 N. Sheffield Ave.

New York Deli
- Delis, Beer, Wine & Spirits
- 4.5 Stars, 173 Reviews
- 2921 N. Clark St.
- “This place is truly great. The atmosphere, the staff, the food, it's all spot on New York City. I brought my parents here (NYC born raised) and my father spent about half an hour talking with the owner about it. “
HB Restaurant
- American (New)
- 4.5 Stars, 615 Reviews
- 3404 N. Halsted St.
- "Had an amazing and memorable date night here. I didn't want to deal with a super trendy place, just wanted great food in a cozy and intimate atmosphere. If that's what you're looking for, HB has it.”
Urban Vegan
- Vegan
- 4.5 Stars, 171 Reviews
- 1605 W. Montrose Ave.

Native Foods Cafe
- Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free
- 4.5 Stars, 231 Reviews
- 1023 W. Belmont Ave.
- "This might sound crazy, but I would rather eat their vegan reuben than a traditional reuben any day. I also recommend their tacos, fries, and watermelon juice.”
Bánh Mì & Co.
- Vietnamese
- 4.5 Stars,105 Reviews
- 3141 N. Broadway Ave.
- "After a long day at work, I thought Banh mi was the perfect dinner choice. As I waited for my Saigon Classic, an old Vietnamese woman sat behind the counter folding wontons. Maybe I'm missing home but the sight of that was the best/most comforting way to end my day.”
Crisp
- Korean, Chicken Wings
- 4 Stars, 1,127 Reviews
- 2904 N. Broadway Ave.
- "Crisp is one of those places that you end up dreaming about and wake up in the wee hours of the morning craving like a lover that you know you shouldn't go back to but just can't resist."
Yoshi's Cafe
- American (New),Japanese
- 4 Stars, 192 Reviews
- 3257 N. Halsted St.
- "I had always walked by this place a million times and wondered what it would be like. So, my boyfriend and I decided to check it out one evening. What a surprise! From the outside you wouldn't expect it to be anything special, but it was quite nice (white table clothes, great service) from the start!”
