... But that's hardly the point at The Weiner Circle. For a first hand, almost sociological view of millennium-era race politics, come late at night on a weekend to The Weiner Circle. And the hot dogs are Chicago-style with whole pickles, whole tomatoes, onions, mustard, peppers and celery salt! Delicious!

This one is mean, awful, no good, and very bad. Really. It's a standard Chase Bank except that if you go over your balance and get an outrageous fee, THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR YOU. Try the Bank One (okay, Chase) on Armitage east of Sheffield. They are so nice there!

The best ribs of my life, OF MY LIFE, hands down. I cannot, cannot get enough of this place whenever I'm in KC, which, granted, isn't very often. Barbecue is said to be Kansas City's specialty, but still, Fiorella's is still the obligatory upscale barbecue place. Two words, fair barbecue-seekers: lamb ribs.

Having attended for three years, I can say that I have found some of the most knowledgeable, empathetically academic people around. While a Catholic University (and the largest in the nation to boot), conservative it is not in the least. With the exception of not having any kind of condom program, the school is as liberal as they come, pushing diversity nearly to the point of annoyance. However, the result is great possibilities for open discourse and lots and lots of learning.
I'm unable to speak for most of the school of Commerce (which IS one of the largest in the country), but LA&S is a group that you will get to know quickly, and our Theatre and Music programs are absolutely some of the best in the country, comparable to Juilliard and other extremely well-renowned Fine Arts Universities.
Top that off with small class size, great and well cared-for facilities, a wonderful location in the heart of one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago with accessibility to really everything, and a broad spectrum of people, and I'd say you've got a fabulous institution of higher learning.
One drawback, however, is that DePaul has more than doubled in size in the last ten years, and as a result, the office tango has not quite been worked out yet. The bureaucracy and red tape is not quite under control, and though this is fairly minor, it can definitely be annoying at times.

Owned by the same Jewish family for more than ten years, Hashalom is a wonderful restaurant with uber-traditional food and classic service. The seating is fairly minimal, but it doesn't seem to be a problem most nights. The portions are huge, the food is delicious, and I cannot recommend the lamb enough. Wonderful!

With exceptional food at moderate prices, there are deals to be had for any menu item you could want. The $2.99 Uno, which includes eggs, fries and pancakes (if you ask!) is wonderful, and they usually include a bit more if you ask for the eggs scrambled. Additionally, the beer is cheap, at $2 Domestic and $3 Import. Not that the selection is huge, but this is a great 24-hour joint, far better than its Belmont location.

At the Map Room, they have beers that even the most seasoned beer connoisseur will be stumped by. The atmosphere is warm but often crowded, but still fantastic. They have more beers on tap than I have seen at any bar, upwards of fifteen at a time, and more than 200 bottles at any given time, as well. Highly, highly recommended.

Red Carpet, by Peoria Notre Dame High School, is expensive (starting at $12), and every time I have brought the family minivan in, I've had to ask them to clean the back and to take care of a few other things as well. There are cheaper places and a ton of self-serve places as well where you'll know you're getting a good car wash.

While not being the most authentic of restaurants, Avanti's is a local favorite for their pizza bread ($2.50 for a huge serving, an extra fifteen cents or so for pepperoni), amazingly sweet bread, and the all-time favorite of Peorians and Bradley students, their Gondolas (pronounced "gon-DOLE-ah," trust me). They have the usual portions of tortellini, ravioli, etcetera, but the Gondolas and the pizza bread are where they stand out most. My one gripe is that they're not 24/hr, they close around 10 I believe.

If you love overgeneralized Asian noodle shops with cheap prices and big portions, Penny's Noodles is for you. They have a few locations, at Sheffield and Roscoe and Sheffield and Diversey, and both you can bring in around $7 for a meal. Wonderful, delicious, absolutely recommended. Try their Pad Thai with pork and ask for the chili-lime sauce on the side!
