is about 2 miles west of the park on Addison and a block or so south on California. Quite a hike, but only a five minute cab ride from the park, and well worth the trip.

Wrigleyville Dogs isn’t nearly as good, but still good, and a lot closer – about a block west of the park. You won’t be sorry if you make the trek to Hot Doug’s though.

i usually grab a couple of sandwiches from eatzi’s in the century shopping center on clark st.. its a little ways from wrigley but for anyone staying at the hotels on diversey and walking to the ballpark it is a good option.

i loved that place and got most of my meals from there while in chicago.

Luckys. It is on Clark a few blocks down for the field. Im not sure if it would be the best to bring into the park though.

…………..on Addison, just east of the el tracks, makes great tacos. Buy ’em by the bag.

…..that this topic would resonate with the BCB community!

Thanks for all the good tips – I’ll share them with my honey and let her make the final call; it’s great to have such good options.

go to Ben’s Deli on Broadway & Stratford which is about 15 minute walk from the park.
FANTASTIC corned beef sandwich ( others are good too). I usually bring a sandwich from
Panera on Diversey . They are very good.
Hot Dogs are not real practical but if you want to eat before or after Wiener Circle on Clark & Wrightwood has great dogs & burgers.

If you like chicken wings, my wife and I always try to get to Yak-Zies when visiting the area. Good sandwiches too. It’s on Clark, just north of the ballpark.

If you’re coming from the north side I’d suggest you stop at Bat 17 in Evanston. It’s right by the Davis Street El stop so you can pick them up on the way. GREAT sandwiches! They keep well for the trek down to the park and go well with Old Style.

Don’t buy a dog or anything hot and bring it in, it will soggy. If we have time we go to Endy’s on N. Milwaukee Ave ( A Chicago experience by itself) considered by many as the best deli in Chicago, a city full of good Deli’s. It is not far from the park located south of Belmont on Milwaukee Ave——3955 N. Milwaukee. Get whatever you like at Lawndale & Milwaukee.

It is a traditional Polish hangout with broken English but if your money is green they will do you right. BTW it used to be Andy’s for the old memories and it still is relatively cheap.

Second, buy a big bag of peanuts outside the park, if you like go to Nuts on Clark and get some mixed nuts.

Third bring a small soft sided cooler with plastic Soda Pop or water and save some $$$,

Enjoy

Other thoughts, we have brought in friend chicken from the chicken place I can’t remember its name on Addison a block away, Subway sandwiches but Endy’s is the best making a great day.

the best website for finding and checking out anything before you go anywhere. When you search for restaurants, hotels, attractions, etc, you can narrow down the area you are interested in on a map and just click on each place and find out more about it. Very awesome!

Otherwise, mine is just the kosher dogs with grilled onions inside the ballpark.
