"From the 1920s all the way through the post-war years, Uptown was at the center of entertainment in Chicago thanks to its dance halls and bars like the still-excellent Green Mill, where the likes of Al Capone used to drink and escape raids through underground tunnels. Two of those old dance halls, Aragon Ballroom and Riviera Theatre, are killer concert venues today. The neighboring Andersonville was once Chicago’s Little Sweden and today is a fun place to hang with many bars, cafes, and restaurants. It’s also one of Chicago’s most LGBTQ-friendly areas. Straddling the two neighborhoods, Little Saigon along Argyle Street is an ethnic enclave with a number of delicious Vietnamese restaurants, as well as great Thai, Chinese, and Hmong food. Tank Noodle sits on the corner at the heart of the neighborhood and is considered to serve the neighborhood’s best Vietnamese food." - MATADOR_NETWORK
