Another really wonderful place for food and live music. Not too far from Evanston in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, this place has been voted one of the most "green" restaurants in the city. They grown their own veggies and herbs on their rooftop garden. It's a cozy setting with a great outdoor patio, and great for discovering new artists: https://www.uncommonground.com/edgewater-location
