Then it's up to Northern Chicago to find a place to eat. Eric has suggested we try Devon Street, which we start walking until I call him & he estimates we have about 22 city blocks to go. We take a bus.
It's worth it. When the ethnic stores and restaurants commence it's all East Indian, I count 5 sari stores in the space of a block, then Pakistani and Afghanistani restaurants melt into Greek and Italian places, followed by Israeli shops with Hasidic Jews walking around in black coats, Cyrillic appears on windows and you're in Russia. Weird, like walking through half the world, a real cosmopolitan experience.
We search around and eventually end up at a place that serves an Indian and Pakistani cuisine. We get weird looks. Pretty good food--the nann is by far the best part, but the milk tea is good too. When we leave it's dark, and time to head over to the Abbey Pub for the BR concert--we hail a taxi.
