East Garfield Park Is Worth Getting Off the Green Line For

A historic West Side neighborhood with one of the country's largest botanical conservatories and a small but growing list of places to eat.

Most people come for the Garfield Park Conservatory. Stay for what's cooking around it, from the chefs launching out of The Hatchery to the independent spots building something on the West Side. It's a straight shot from the Loop on the Green Line, and it rewards the trip.

A one-man ghost kitchen at The Hatchery in East Garfield Park, run by a Virginia cook who spent three years in Paris kitchens. The fries are the reason to go: pommes Anna sliced paper-thin, pressed, cut, and fried until the outside shatters and the layers inside stay soft. Get them with the house dijon mayo and the buttermilk sandwich, whose house pickles cut straight through the fry. Pickup and delivery only, and it survives the drive.
