If you were an angsty teen busy dreaming of how great your grungy 20s would be, Diner would have been your Mecca. Packed to the rafters with those adventurous enough to brave the South Side, Diner is part neighborhood watering hole and part surprising gourmet dining experience. Though eerily similar to Relish, Diner makes its mark with a menu of just a few items and rotating daily specials that are sure to make your head spin and your mouth water. If those new skinny jeans have put you off eating, the full bar isn’t a bad place to spend time either—did somebody say blood orange margaritas? With the blocks surrounding this trailer-turned-café fast becoming prime real estate, take a chance to hit Diner before it picks up and rolls off to the next hipster ghetto.
