Montarra Grill

For the Northwest suburbs, Montarra Grill is a hidden gem with a downtown feel. It serves Contemporary American cuisine with top notch service.

Calumet Fisheries

One of the last wood-smoked seafood restaurants in Illinois, this unassuming, shack-like eatery can be found next to the Calumet bridge. This historic, family-run business serves perfectly prepared smoked or fried seafood of all kinds. No seating inside, so order and take it with you or eat by the river on the bridge.

Uru Swati

Uru Swati offers a menu of flavorful, vegetarian Indian dishes in one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in Chicago. You will find traditional samosas, dosa, masala, and paneer, as well as house-made naan and garlic breads. Very reasonably priced. Catch a little Bollywood on TV while you’re there too!  A BYOB restaurant.

"Standing there an hour alone I dreamt that Greece might once be free."

– Lord Byron

 

The people of Greece, along with their beautiful scenery and pleasantly temperate climate, enjoy one more distinction: each year in March, they mark a unique dual holiday that is celebrated by both the deeply religious and the happily patriotic.

Ireland

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

– Traditional Irish toast
