Why no Polish stuff in Chicago?

I agree; the food is better managed at the Devon outlet.

I still miss "Orbit" restaurant (2800 north Milwaukee?)which closed some years back. Always preferred sitting at the counter and banter with the Polish waitresses.


I swear half of Mexico lives in the U.S.

Ive heard about it, never made it there.
I guess Im a little too late....


Thats the best part:)

Have you ever been to The Capitol club on Milwaukee/Monrose?
They have a bunch of Polish girls working there that are alot of fun. There are alot of good Polish places around the city if you know where to go,,,hehe

South Archer Avenue has some excellent Polish Deli's and two awesome Polish Markets.
Gilmart (market) is located just west of PulAski and Bobak's is further west near Cicero.
Both have incredible butchered meats (last time I was there, Bobak's was selling fresh Polish sausage for $1.19 pound. You can also buy fresh made kraut and Herring right from the barrel.

Both stores have in-house food service, cafeteria style.
There are several Deli's among the storefronts as well.

That area along Archer has been historically Polish forever.

No, haven't been there; too many young people ;)

If I'm out drinking I usually hang around Streeterville or Old Town as both are close to my abode (I like to walk home not drive).

Ok I know where youre at, I lived around Ravenswood for a bit


I still have my DL and want to keep it, I usually bus or cab it myself.

Especially for those Cub games!!!!

I'm a White Sox guy myself but I go to one Cubs game every year. In fact, I took my son to the first night game in Wrigley Field the Cubs actually played in 1988 (that was lucky as the first game they were actually to play was rained out and I had tickets for the next one).


Yea, I love walking but everything is no more than a $7-$8 dollar cab ride away if need be.


You were a few miles north and west of me. I do remember drinking at Ravenswood Pub once but I don't remember why.

I think he was asking about difference between polish hispanic tv and radio . Polish are working all day long , woman's and men's , their children are at school or day cares . We want to do something with ours lives not just seat at home and watch tv . HIspanic on the other hand , well 3-5 children's at least , house full family unemployed on link card , no wonder they are watching tv , the media invested they are good quality of people behind tv.

Gilmart is now closed. It will be missed.

There are two (2) 'old Warsaw' restaurants.

The Polish Genalogical Society of America is in Chicago, on Milwaukee Avenue and Augusta, at the origanal Polish area of Chicago

Part of the reason is Polish more people will learn English than mexican people will. Working in their neighborhoods you realize how many of them can't function outside of their neighborhood. Where as in the Polish areas, even people true to their heritage still want to be able to communicate so they can get better jobs.

I wonder if this holds true in the U.K?
