Moving to Prospect Heights
so happy about these posts! I also second Teddy's for good and cheap takeout. The gyro sandwich is a good bet and they are BYOB. In the summer, the garden in back is far nicer than the bland inside decor.
Also, on Franklin, more things have been opening. I like Lily and Fig for their cupcakes and they have AMAZING bread on the weekends. They are cheaper and nicer than Joyce's bakeshop. There is a new coffee shop on Franklin and Lincoln but the seating is inadequate.
The glass shop on Classon and Sterling is nice for good coffee and a nice vibe.
Chavellas is pretty good and if you can make it to happy hour, their tacos are 2bucks (M-Th, F? 4-6pm).
Welcome to the neighborhood!
eating out with a baby
I have a 15 month old and have taken her to a lot of restaurants. As the previous poster mentioned, the high chair will be a big issue. If your child can sit up on her own, I would highly recommend getting one of those clip on high chairs for travel. We have one by Phil and Ted and love it.
Also, I would just try to get there as early as possible (like when they open). That will help. Hotel restaurants are also more used to dealing with families. good luck!
