"Big cities are generally expensive, and if your visitor buys gum at CVS and discovers Chicago’s 78% sales tax, they’ll be concerned. Luckily we have Athenian Room to soothe them. It’s an extremely casual Greek spot in Lincoln Park with huge, reasonably priced portions. The must-order dish (and reason we send everyone here) is the kalamata chicken, roasted and served with fantastic chicken-jus-soaked fries we’d happily eat every day of the year." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
