Irving Park
If you’ve been getting off at the Logan Square Blue Line CTA stop for dinner, stay on the train—Irving Park is only a few more stops north. First, Smalls Smoke Shack & More, one of our favorite new restaurants, opened there this summer, and that’s reason enough to go. But it’s also home to the beloved Smoque, underappreciated gem Bread & Wine and ethnic joints like Beograd Cafe and Restaurant and La Oaxaquena, all of which are worth a trip.
