    I'm looking for a spot to meet friends along the Blue Line. To be more specific, I'd like a place where we could have dinner and then stick around for drinks.
    Any suggestions?
    While we're at it, has anybody compiled a list of the best EL stops for food or the best of the different EL lines?

    Logan Square - Lula Cafe or Azucar

    Piece Brewrey is pretty good. Good pizza, served in a rustic-not-quite-oval-or-square style. It's also owned by the lead guitar from Cheap Trick.

    There really are an astounding number of possibilities. You might want to narrow it down a bit to get a good recommendation.

    Best,

    You can serve both your needs at the Paramount Room, about a block and a half south of the Grand stop:

    You could always try the Virtual El on Centerstage. It certainly won't be just the best, but it does cover just about everything.

    The Silver Palm train dining car and cocktails at The Matchbox would kill two birds with one stone. It's right off the Chicago Avenue stop at the corner of Milwaukee and Ogden.
