Hyde Park is often forgot about when creating the list of food destinations for Chicago. However, this neighborhood offers great culture, the University of Chicago, museums, beaches, and fantastic local restaurants. If you are looking for a casual night out with local Chicagoans, any of these options will make for an enjoyable evening, especially if you love comfort food! Mellow Yellow, a neighborhood establishment offers the best of comfort food since 1975, especially the award-winning rotisserie chicken. Enjoy Southern grub at Dixie Kitchen with menu items like, fried green tomatoes and catfish. The same owners also opened Calypso Cafe, where you can escape to a tropical environment while getting messy with some bbq! And, if fried chicken is what you crave, make a stop at Harold's Chicken Shack. For other types of cuisines, try the Asian inspired menu at Chant, or feel the romantic fire with Italian food at Piccolo Mondo Cafe. Or, grab takeout or sit down and indulge gourmet pizzas, sandwiches, and soups at Pizza Capri. Then indulge in desserts and and ice cream floats at Caffe Florian. End your day at Woodlawn Tap for beers with the locals and U of C students!
