Super H-Mart

address: 801 Civic Center Dr
A Korean supermarket, which includes a food court, a bank, cosmetic stores, and an ice cream stand with hard-to-find flavors like taro. Weekends typically include the ability to sample cooked foods.
Golf Mill Shopping Center

address: 239 Golf Mill Center
The prototypical suburban indoor shopping center, anchored by Kohl's, Target, and JC Penney. The mall, opened in 1960, features a strange tower designed to look like a golf ball (putting a spin on the mall's uncreative name—it's at the corner of Golf and Milwaukee, after all). As these kinds of malls are going the way of the dodo, this could be a tourist destination one day.

Papagalino Cafe

address: 9014 N Milwaukee Ave
Bakery and cafe. Open late. Draws a Middle Eastern and Eastern European crowd. Parking can be tight.
Graziano's Brick Oven Pizza

address: 5960 W Touhy Ave
Traditional Italian fare, including pizza and huge servings of pasta. The star of the show here is the endless servings of the strangely delicious house bread and side salad that come with meals.
