The best Chicken Fried Chicken Ever!The adorable southern-inspired Mexican cuisine diner, from the team behind the Publican and Big Star, is open from 9 in the morning to 10 or 11 at night. In the morning, try the grits and blood sausage, while the red chile enchiladas and chicken-fried chicken are worthy orders for lunch or dinner. No matter which meal you're there for, though, you'll want to add a rotating Mexican-inspired slice of Hoosier Mama pie, like the horchata. Yes, even for breakfast.

Be forewarned: You'll need a reservation if you want to snag a table at this red-hot Wicker Park newcomer—and for good reason. The vibe is electric, the menu loveable and the drinks flowing. A smattering of small plates, one pizza and an order of pasta should satisfy a hungry duo. We're particularly fond of the bubbling shrimp, fire-baked focaccia, wild mushroom 'za and bucatini cacio e pepe.

The bittersweet reality of great little dives is that they often lose charm when overrun by masses of clingers-on. Somehow, this Ukrainian Village spot has managed to remain an underground favorite. The local artists and musicians who frequent it hold on to terra firma with cheap drink in hand, awaiting a turn in the photo booth while nodding to everything from Aesop Rock to Black Sabbath.
