Modern Mediterranean
One of my favorite restaurants of all time. The food is incredibly delicious. They cook everything to perfection, their sauces and seasoning are out of this world and it's a pretty restaurant, very close to the house (2 block walk). It's great if you are looking for a nicer place to go to dinner but they are also very well priced for the quality and service.

If you want more traditional greek food this is a must visit. The ambiance is really fun with more traditional greek decor. I've never been disappointed with anything I've eaten there. Plus it's right in the heart of Greek Town which is a fun area.

Pizza
Giordano's
5311 S Blackstone AveMy personal favorite pizza place for thin crust or deep dish pizza.
I have friends that argue Pizzeria Due is the best pizza in town so I thought I would include this as a secondary option.

Cafes
This place not only has delicious coffee it also has the cutest location ever. It's basically in an alley and there are tables lined up in front of it. It gives you a little bit of a European vibe.

Hands down my favorite ramen place and trust me I've been to quite a few to scope out which one is the best. Their broth is super flavorful!

Fried Chicken
If you love fried chicken this is the place to go. Fair warning their chicken is a little bit spicy. Nothing that most can't handle but it is a little different than your traditional fried chicken. If you like a little kick you are going to love how juicy the chicken is and how crispy the skin is on the outside. Plus it's in the heart of the Fulton River District which has just a ton of great restaurants, bars, and entertainment within steps of each other.
