The Write Inn is a charming, intimate, older hotel in a residential area of Oak Park. Older apartment buildings surround it, and beautiful 1920's era homes are only a couple blocks to the east and west. The "L" is about three blocks to the south ,which provides good access to downtown Chicago. O'Hare is about 13 miles to the northwest (cab runs around $25-30) Midway is about 10 miles to the southeast (cab runs about $20-25). Restaurants of good quality include: Marion Street Grille (American) - to the west about four blocks; Cucina Paradiso (Italian) on North Blvd, about four blocks to the south); Poor Phil's Shell Bar (seafood & short orders, to complete meals) on Marion Street about six blocks to the west and south; Papaspiros,(Greek) two blocks south and east on Lake Street, is the restaurant mentioned in the previous post; Giordano's (pizza, including Chicago style deep dish) is about six blocks west and north on Chicago Ave.; Gepetto's (Italian including pizza) is two blocks south on Oak Park Ave.; Mickey's Gyro's, (short order -sandwiches and of course, gyro's)is about seven blocks west on Harlem; and Maple Tree (breakfast fare) is about five blocks southwest on Lake. There are many others, yet these are among my local favorites. Hope this helps you enjoy your Oak Park stay!
