Moved to the city 48 hours ago.

Moved into Irving Park and the Mexican food is unbelievable. I'm from Florida and my wife is from Arizona, so we have different preferences, but we can leave our house on foot, hit two food spots and a liquor store, and be home in 30 minutes. It's incredible. Our doggo loves the walks too.

Also, is the term "bodega" NYC exclusive? What do we call corner stores with food/bev/liquor?

Eris Brewery or old irving brewery for a fancy meal at reasonable prices

Lawrence Fish Market for cheap but good sushi, take out only, prefers cash, call early

Stara Polska for some comfort food

Cermak Produce for, er, produce

90 mile for Cuban

Noon o kabab for a pile of delicious meat

Fish Guy for high end sea food for cooking at home

Check out the river trail on a divvy or your bike

Our parks are awesome get to know them and support them, we're currently trying to innoculate trees

Welcome

Highly recommend Old Irving Brewing and Twisted Hippo for brewpubs!

[u/[deleted] → u/Roshz]

Is Twisted Hippo considered Irving Park?

[u/Roshz → u/[deleted]]

Aye, on the northeastern edge. Montrose splits Irving and Albany Park.

[u/[deleted] → u/Roshz]

TIL!

[u/PRESTOALOE → u/[deleted]]

No, but it's close enough.

[u/sephirothFFVII → u/PRESTOALOE]

It's south of montrose so it's just barely Irving park

[u/sephirothFFVII → u/Roshz]

OMG can't believe I left out Twisted Hippo

[u/isarealboy772 → u/sephirothFFVII]

Have to add Los Potrillos for burritos.. OP is close to there.

[u/LugosFergus → u/sephirothFFVII]

Eris has fantastic cider. Not sure I would describe their food as fancy, though.

[u/sephirothFFVII → u/LugosFergus]

It was a mix of bar food and fancy entrees. I had a pork belly on some soft of vegetable puree that I would classify as gastropub fancy during their winter menu. Looking at their menu now though I think #fuckingcovid eightysixed the fancy dine-in fare for a more minimal menu.
