I went to white castle past night when i was wasted. The pic does not do this justice. I mean, the food looked way fucking worse in real life. Im not kidding. This looks amazing in the pic compared to how bad it really looked. There were like 15 fries in that box. Tasted alright for soaking up 12 beers

[Anonymous No.6318305]

Lou Malnati's is best. Preferably the Lincolnwood location, if you have a car to be able to get there with.

Oh HOLY FUCKBALLS I just checked Google Maps for where you're staying. I hope you have a gun. Keep it fucking well hidden or the pigs will destroy you, but I sure as fuck would not hang around in that part of town without one. And no, I am NOT joking. I used to work at U of I Medical Center, and the area is a shithole.

[Anonymous No.6318715]

>>6318305
I know man. It is a fucking shithole. Way worse than i thought. Woke up a few times from fights and car alarms. And it takes alot to wake me up. Especially when i have been drinking

Also, i took the 49 western bus the wrong way. I was going to wicker park....but ended up in southland. My christ that place is crazy. Somethings gotta give there. It was worse than detroit, the cops had to get called and the bus shut down when someone pulled a knife in a fight....first fucking bus ride i took. But...i ended up where i wanted. Amongst hipster white people, got some good tacos now im searching for bud. I dont know anyone so it should be interesting

I was there this afternoon. If you want some good Ramen, there is the Flaming Spoon. The WormHole Cafe if you like some coffee and the Bongo Room for a good breakfast/lunch.

[Anonymous No.6320707]

>>6319819
The delorean in the wormhole is pretty cool. I liked Toms coffee more than any other coffee i have ever had

[Anonymous No.6320978]

>>6320707
Didn't try that cafe yet. I normally go to Cafe Streets and Metropolis at Edgewater. I'll give Tom's a try next time I'm in the area.
