Mannys cafe
Archie found a 10% off voucher at the hostel for a local dinner touted as being the stomping ground of Chicagos politicians. So ever in search of a bargain we set off for mannys cafe. Past drive thru banks and neon sign covered bargin clothes stores we found our evenings dinning location. Not sure what to expect we stepped through the door into a place that you would think only existed in movies. Cops sat munching giant portions of various meat dishes in one corner and our server added culinary theatre to our order spinning his knife in the air in between cuts. We ordered a pastrami on rye and each received the better half of a hog which dwarfed the bread it was sandwiched between.
Surrounding us as we ate were newspaper clippings of obamas frequent visits from around the time of his election. It was good away from the tourist glitz of navy pier, where real Americans do their thing and seem to conform with all the stereo types we get from the movies.
