Having participated in Buen Provecho last night, I completely agree that the Rogers Park crawl is sad. Oooh! Leona's! Chipotle! Heck, North Clark-a-thon I and North Clark-a-thon II were more interesting than this crawl. That said, there are a few places worthy of attention on the list and people can decide if the crawl is worth it for that.

It's part of the Loyola Parents' Weekend schedule, so expect a lot of out-of-towners (Thing2 is a freshman there).
We'd thought to try this, but at least one of the nights is sold out already (I forget which one).

As far as I know, there is only one night, Sept. 26, for the Rogers Park Dinner Crawl. I got my information directly from the Rogers Park Business Alliance.
