"This is my favourite Vietnamese restaurant outside of Asia, and is what to eat in Chicago if you’re looking for something different from classic American cuisine. Every time I visit the city, I go here and order the crispy, stir-fried, large, rice noodles with seafood. Divinity in a serving bowl."

"Tank Noodle has a huge menu, but the main reason to come here is for the pho. Nothing compares to a steaming bowl of this stuff on a blustery winter (or spring) day. If soup isn't your thing, they also have a million types of Vietnamese noodles and super cheap sandwiches."

"My go-to comfort food in Chicago, Tank has the best Banh mi’s and pho around. Not fancy by any means, the hole-in-the-wall Asian gems on Argyle are generally family style seating with lazy Susan’s for passing the sauces and toppings. Also Try: Saigon Sisters, Le Colonial"

The juxtaposition of modern marvels like Willis Tower with wildlife habitats makes the experience that much more engaging."

"The Regenstein Center for African Apes is also part or rather an extension of the Lincoln Park Zoo, where the visitors can come close to the apes, chimpanzees and the gorillas that have found their home there.
