Falco's, in my opinion, is one of THE best pizza's around. The crust is crispy and buttery and the sauce has the right balance of tart, sweet and flavor! I highly recommend trying this pizza if you get the chance.

One of the only Persian restaurants in the city. Lots of delicious food for a great price! I highly recommend the 'Soltani' dish. Gives you a taste of two of their best selling (and tasting) meat choices, the Barg and Koubideh. The lentil soup is also delicious. Great on a cool/cold day.

Kristoffer's is a hidden gem in Pilsen. Awesome bakery, coffee and tea. Must try their famous Flan, specifically the Chocoflan - soooo good! They also serve a delicious Mayan tamale that is a meal in itself!

Joy Yee is one of the best Pan Asian restaurants in the city. Located in the heart of Chinatown, you can choose from a well rounded menu for whatever you're in the mood for - Thai, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese. You can't go wrong. A HUGE selection of bubble tea. Hundreds of combinations to choose from. The Korean Kimchi Beef Rice Stone Bowl is a must! Soooo good!

Cocktails are inventive and delicious! The Paloma, Pepino and Abuelita are highly recommended! They also serve food that is just as delicious! I recommend their Del Toro burger and their barbacoa tacos (on Saturdays only) They are soooo delicious!

Skylark is a divey bar featuring local and domestic IPA's as well as pub fare you can only find on the South Side of the city. They are famous for their tater tots. LOL Bar open til 3am (kitchen closes at midnight and 1am on Saturdays). Good for after party beers. Head on over after Del Toro closes. It's a hop, skip and a jump away on the same block.
