Focus on Andersonville

By Olivia Leigh in Miscellaneous on Feb 12, 2007 4:24PM

As one of the few neighborhoods we hadn't visited since we moved to the city, we ventured up to Andersonville yesterday. We were hoping to get in touch with our Swedish roots, perhaps naively expecting the area to have some sort of kitchsy Scandinavian charm. While we were able to find restaurants selling our beloved Swedish pancakes and lingonberries, overall, the neighborhood was a typical Chicago melting pot, complete with American and Italian restaurants. That said we still found it to be a rather charming neighborhood, and hope to return soon. What are your favorite Andersonville spots, Swedish or otherwise?
