Sweet Maple Cafe
1339 W Taylor StGreat food, home cooking with excellent biscuits.
My favorite Chicago style pizza. It's a bit further than the ones downtown. It's like a restaurant/bar so it's casual attire.

Getting Around
CTA train (El or Elevated train, subway), to go downtown, take direction "O'Hare" and to come back to the apartment take direction "Forest Park". It will be displayed on the front of the train. This is the Western Avenue stop but be mindful because there are two called Western. This one is right next to the Interstate I-290. I believe it's $.2.25-$2..50 each way. A 7 day pass is around $35. Uber is very inexpensive from this location to the apartment if you are returning late at night.
