    Thank you for the tip and link to the review on El Sabor Poblano. Now intend to stop there in the near future.

    We've been Rogers Park residents for 2+ months now, and are really enjoying the local eats. A quick rundown of our favorites:

    R Public House: We live only a couple blocks away, and this has become our go-to neighborhood spot. Elevated pub fare by a chef with an actual name (not a cook who throws frozen stuff in a microwave), tasty rotating specials, fantastic beer and liquor list, awesome brick oven pizzas and great community spirit.

    Anto Pizza and Pasta: I've only been to this BYOB pizza place once, but can't wait to return....I'm still dreaming about the slice of ricotta and zucchini pizza I had.

    YaMon: As I posted in the YaMon thread, my husband is a Jamaican food fanatic. He's now been here twice, I've been here once, we both loved it. Who would have thunk that jerk chicken tacos could be so awesome?

    Union Pizza (Evanston): Notice that I've mentioned pizza at three times now? Never would I have imagined. I've lived in Chicago for 31 years and I'm not a fan of most local pizza. So the fact I've eaten pizza at multiple places multiple times in the last two months is astonishing. I'm sure there are some years I've gone 12 straight months without eating any pizza. Also, Union Pizza's mussels and their salads rock. No reservations, so go early or expect a wait.

    El Sabor Poblano: That mole! Those tortillas! The warm and welcoming service! If I lived within walking distance, I'd be talking about how much mole I'd eaten in the last two months, instead of talking about how much pizza I'm eating.

    Libanais (Lincolnwood): I've only gotten delivery from Libanais, but wow. Having lived in the Middle East and London, I'd like to think I know good Lebanese from bad, and this was awesome. Can't wait to check it out in person.

    Income Tax (Edgewater): Been twice now. Love the small plates, love the flavor combinations, love the vibe.

    Peckish Pig: The statute of limitations has expired, so I can now publicly admit that I drank underage at PM Club on Howard back in the 1980s. If you'd told me then that, approaching my 50s, I'd be dining out with friends at a gastropub/microbrewery across the street, my reaction probably would have been, "What's a gastropub?" But seriously, we love PP for a quick lunch at the bar or a grazing dinner with friends. Just introduced it to a couple West Loopers who know their way around Chicago's restaurants and they adored it.
