Where do you get your favorite burger?

by EveryBlock Becca

In honor of May being National Burger Month, where do you go for the best burger in or around Hyde Park/Bronzeville?

    Besides my number 1, all time favorite, best of the best That's a Burger, also try these two, and yes, they're outside of HP and Bronzeville. Great food knows no boundaries.

    o Hackney's in Printer's Row. Beware their signature French fried onions--or you will be assimilated.

    o New Line Tavern on Clinton, off Lake. Stay away from their garlic fries--so there'll be more for me ;-)

Swagger Lounge - 5048 S. Prairie Ave. , Chicago

by Erica in Bronzeville

My boyfriend and I stopped by Swagger last night after driving past it and seeing its lights on. Can I say that this place has ALL of the bells and whistles of a top of the line lounge. I don't even think my description would do the place justice! But it has a full service kitchen, a bar both upstairs and on the first floor, two outdoor padded seating areas with colorful lighting, an outdoor stage for performances, an outdoor...

My boyfriend and I stopped by Swagger last night after driving past it and seeing its lights on. Can I say that this place has ALL of the bells and whistles of a top of the line lounge. I don't even think my description would do the place justice! But it has a full service kitchen, a bar both upstairs and on the first floor, two outdoor padded seating areas with colorful lighting, an outdoor stage for performances, an outdoor fountain, a TON of flat screen tvs, dining area, a room for jazz performances, a Playstation section, beautifully decorated his and hers restrooms on both floors, lounge rooms on both floors, plenty of security on hand, and a friendly, accomodating wait staff. We met with Kara and she gaves the complete tour. I have been screaming about solid businesses and nightlife coming to Bronzeville for a while and Swagger has surely helped to fill the gap. They are currently open on Thursdays through Sundays and stay open as late as 2AM. As the word gets out, they plan to add more days to be open during the week. The menu consists mostly of bar food, and the menu is light, but it's still a great selection and the lounge plans to expand the options as popularity grows. Oh, and there is also plenty of free parking, so that is always a plus! OH...what a breath of fresh air for Bronzeville and the south side of Chicago! Please support this business soon!

by EveryBlock Becca

Hey folks. Since Mother's Day is just around the corner, I thought I'd ask if anyone has a favorite local restaurant that they would recommend to their neighbors who haven't made plans yet?

Friday fun: How would you give back to your neighborhood if you won tonight's Mega Millions drawing?

by EveryBlock Becca

If you've been reading the news lately, you've probably heard something about tonight's jackpot drawing that has got a lot of folks dreaming big.

So I thought it would be fun to ask how you would give back to your neighborhood if you were the lucky winner?

    I would start a Teen Help Center, teaching courses on how to respect your body, birth control, teen violence, peer pressure, work place readiness, and parenting. I use to teach courses on Hygiene and work place readiness at Job Corps and half of the student’s population didn’t know the basics. They are clueless and it sad!!

    I would buy some of this land in Washington Park. Some areas would be redeveloped for agriculture and resource centers(job placement, youth development, family development, small business resource center, healthy living, etc.) If others invest their money directly into the community it would be a better place for all. I would also buy one of the many vacant buildings so that my family could live there comfortably.

Citywide staff pick

From New Bike Racks - where did they come from?:

"Just curious about the new bike racks you see through Lakeview. They are cool colors and in the shape of a bike. I like them and just wondering if they were purchased by the city or some how locally. Any comments would be helpful?"
