Piecora's Pizza
1401 East Madison StreetThe closest and coziest pizza joint - for eat-in or take-out.
Popular brunch spot (for good reason) that's good for all meals. There's a great base menu but always an additional special cuisine on offer.

Skillet is an upscale diner. They take the basic dinner food and make it rather sinful. Great brunch, dinners, and desserts (though less of an option if you're watching calories or not eating meat).

The closest and easiest Chinese food around. For take-out or eat-in. We find ourselves here quite often on rainy (or lazy) days. There's a bakery too, but that part is best avoided!

The Elysian is an airy and open pub with better-than-usual pub food (with good veggie options, especially the black bean burger) and (since it's a brewery) tons of beers on tap. Cocktail menu as well.

A 15-minute walk, Liberty has superb cocktails (for gin drinkers, the 'Point of No Return' is highly recommended). They also have a good sushi menu (though it doesn't look at all like a sushi place).
