Devon Avenue
Devon Avenue Review
Chicagoans flock here to quell cravings for Indian food, or, as the avenue moves west, a good Jewish challah. The Indian restaurants and shops start popping up just east of Western Avenue. At Talman Avenue the multicultural wares transform to Jewish specialties. There are butchers and bakers and windows decorated with Russian newspapers and handmade matrioshkas (nesting dolls).

Lexma90, from Denver
Now we live elsewhere, but when we lived in Chicago, we visited Devon St. about once a month to have lunch at an Indian restaurant (my husband is Indian, I'm not). It's a great way to get a feel for a different culture. Be adventurous - go into the stores and shops, buy some Indian pastries that you don't know the name of, and enjoy a great Indian meal at any one of dozens of restaurants.
If you're staying downtown, and don't have a rental car (which you shouldn't, because you don't need a car when visiting Chicago), it's a bit difficult to get to Devon St., but it's do-able. You can take a cab, or take the red line El up to Loyola, then take the 155 Devon bus west to the area with the Indian stores and restaurants.
