Andersonville, Chicago
I went to lunch today with the usual suspects from work. We went to a middle eastern restaurant in Andersonville, which is right up the street from my office. I had no idea this type of cultural fusion existed within one block, though I had heard of Andersonville before. I was only aware of its Swedish background. It happens to be an odd mix of middle eastern restaurants and Swedish influences- which is basically my ethnic background. I am half Armenian and half Swedish. So between the hummus and tabouleh, there are Swedish bakeries and bars. I highly recommend this part of town for anyone who wants to experience a really weird clash of backgrounds. I felt right at home.
