Dining in Old Town

No discussion of the Chicago culinary scene is complete with mention of Alinea, the internationally recognized and highly awarded restaurant that calls Old Town Chicago home. While the chefs behind that renowned, high-concept restaurant provide one-of-a-kind gastronomical experiences for guests, locals like to indulge in the simple pleasures from time to time, perhaps over a pint and light pub fare at the longstanding Twin Anchors.
