A group of seven of us is going to Improv Olympic for a Saturday show in late April. I really like Twist, and so have recommended we go there, but are there other restaurants around there that you would recommend?

Leona’s is near there, too. It’s a fun place and good for groups.

There’s a place called Salt & Pepper Diner pretty close to there. Never went to that one, but I went to the one on Lincoln many times (or is it Wrightwood???) and highly enjoyed it. Cash only, though.

Man, I miss Chicago sometimes…

Thanks for the tips, dudes y dudettes. I feel like I can give my buddies a good selection and they can choose.
