I'm a New Yorker), Billy Goat Tavern (get dah doble cheezboorger, the place is more sleazy fun atmosphere than any real great food). Didn't have time for Frontera or Superdawg, or Edwardo's pizza or any investigations beyond all the hyped. In the end, I'll stick with Garrett's Chicago Mix Popcorn.

I did like Garrett's alot, and no I don't usually care for popcorn. I'm hoping to go back soon and spend more time chowing.
