I LOVE …
… making friends with the owners of small, local restaurants all over the city. There’s nothing more fun than getting seated right away even though the restaurant is bursting at the seams. And when they’re not busy, stepping into the kitchen and chatting with the wife, brother, sister or cousin who’s manning the stove.

… the cheap prices and food at The Full Shilling [3724 N. Clark St., 773-248-3330].

I HATE …
… being walked through a room full of empty tables and seated right next to the kitchen.
— Nancy Watkins, editor
… sitting next to concert/theater/operagoers doused in perfume.

… crowded North Side bars on Saturday nights. You gotta fight to get to the bar, fight to get a seat. And God help you if you have to use the restroom.
