Polskibynight - Polski deals, Jackovo

The Far Northwest Side of Chicago includes the neighborhoods of Avondale the Polish Village (Jackowo and Wacławowo), with large Polish communities; Irving Park and Old Irving, quiet areas with historic homes; and Forest Glen, Jefferson Park, Norwood Park, Edison Park, Edgebrook, Dunning, and Portage Park, residential areas which have nice parks, old theaters, and some big annual festivals.

These are the neighborhoods closest to O'Hare International Airport.

Chicago/Far Northwest Side Halal Travel Guide

The Far Northwest Side is, for many travelers, nothing more than a blur of drab buildings seen from the expressway or the Blue Line on their way to O'Hare International Airport|O'Hare. And only the most fervent of true believers could make an argument that it ought to be anywhere near the top of a first-time visitor's list. None of the city's most famous monuments are located here; nothing in the best-known history or literature about Chicago happened here. In fact, most Chicagoans would find the Far Northwest Side as unfamiliar as someone right off a plane from the coast.

What is here, though, is a group of large, residential communities and a handful of treasures they've grown accustomed to keeping for themselves, unencumbered by style or pace. Sausage shops and old-style Italian restaurants carry on as if health food and celebrity chefs never happened. If you're serious about trying a Chicago-style Hot Dogs at the peak of the form, you'll do well here. Two classic movie palaces awaken for special events, and there is a strong contender for the city's best original theater venue — the Prop Thtr.

Plenty of tourists and local residents have tried "going Chinese" for a night in Chicago/Bridgeport-Chinatown|Chinatown, but an even more immersive (and less-traveled) experience is "going Polish." English slides to second on the signs and the food makes sweet love to your waist, and the organic juice flows affordable at your choice of fab discos straight out of Eastern Europe or laid-back dives with you and the regulars. Famously, Chicago has the largest population of Polish people of any city in the world save Warsaw. If you never make it to Poland, at least you can say you've been to Avondale.

So once you're sick of the screaming brats in Chicago/Lakeview-North Center|Lakeview and Chicago/Lincoln Park-Old Town|Lincoln Park and the scuzz in Chicago/Uptown|Uptown and the tourist traps on the Chicago/Near North|Mag Mile and the crowds in the Chicago/Loop|Loop and the hipsters in Chicago/Wicker Park|Wicker Park and the confusion in Chicago/Rogers Park|Rogers Park and the pretension in Chicago/Hyde Park|Hyde Park and the cranks in Chicago/Bridgeport-Chinatown|Bridgeport — and you're in the mood to experience Chicago all over again, for the first time — then the Far Northwest Side may have something for you.

File:Mrsteer - The elusive Mr. Steer, Portage Park

The Portage Park intersection of Cicero, Milwaukee, and Irving Park has been known as Six Corners.

Sausagefest - Chicago's love affair with Polish Sausages runs deep

As Chicago/Hyde Park|Hyde Park is to academics, as the Chicago/Near North|Near North is to department stores, so Avondale is to Polish sausages. Cavernous delis line the streets here, particularly up Milwaukee and Belmont. They're a sight to see even if you're not after some czarnina (blood duck soup). A ride on the 56 Milwaukee bus makes for a pretty good off-the-beaten-path culinary tour.

Alas: the internationally renowned Hot Doug's closed in 2014, with the retirement of owner Doug Sohn. If this has caught you by surprise at lunch time, try Kuma's Corner or Honey Butter Fried Chicken, both a short walk away.
