Being two very big Food/Travel Network fans, we had decided ahead of time to make a list of places which we’d seen on both Man V. Food and Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. In the end, Man v. Food won since one of his Chicago food stops was in Wrigelyville.
Lucky’s (http://www.luckysandwich.com/) has been a Wrigelyville institution since, well only 2004, famous for their giant, French-fry stuffed, melted cheese, sandwiches (see picture left). I couldn’t find a more appetizing picture, but don’t let my bad photography deter you – they are delicious. And, being enormous, they’re incredibly cheap. A and I split a Turkey sandwich and could barely eat any of the additional fries served with. Pitchers of beer here are also really well priced, making our entire meal only $8 each for a huge sandwich and roughly 3 beers a piece.
Feeling nicely buzzed and really full, we walked around Wrigleyville a bit more. North Clark Street, which runs through Wrigleville, is filled with a number of thrift stores full of vintage Cub T Shirts, pins, and witty silk screen shirts. I bought a few souvenirs here, and there was a really good tshirt about Poop that had A and I laughing really hard. Since this is not New York, even touristy crap is relatively cheap and I was able to get a spiffy Cubs T for only $10.
