Spiaggia is excellent -- the cafe is too, and much less stodgy. The wine flights at Bin 36 are always interesting, and the food is very good. If you like excellent food coupled with terrific atmosphere and lively music, take a ten minute cab ride to Marche. -- Larry |

- Papagus
You're better off ditching Papagus and getting over to Greektown for the real thing. Almost any of the Greektown joints will blow Papagus out of the water. Is the Berghoff still there & good as ever? I found the portions skimpy the last time I was there, which is a sad commentary on German food. Lunch was a tasty bargain, but for dinner, I'd get on the Brown line to Irving Park, from which it's a short walk to any of 3 tasty Germany joints. Resi's Bierstube is a bar with sausage plates and a few other things. The kraut and potato salad are both wonderful. Laschet's is probably what you remember Berghoff food to be. Glunz's Bavarian Kitchen takes a pleasant nouvelle twist to German classics, but doesn't ruin them, and serves absolutely the best Thuringer I've ever had. -- --- "I never had to pretend I felt the lyrics.
