"Even if your family is from Louisiana or close to it, they’ll probably still be impressed by the New Orleans-style food at Lowerline in Prospect Heights (and they were barely even impressed by your latest promotion). Everything here is good, and the menu ranges from oysters to a $16 half-po’boy/cup-of-gumbo special and a $15 muffaletta made with shaved parmesan. Just keep in mind that Lowerline can only fit about 10 people at a time, and they don’t accept reservations. So either get there early or prepare to have a drink at Washington Commons or The Bearded Lady down the street." - hannah albertine
