Save money eating in Chicago and Evanston
True, the recession may be taking a toll on your emotional health and stress level, but it is no excuse to eat poorly. In fact, it’s the perfect time go out and explore the best restaurants around Evanston and Chicago. Some affordable dining establishments have gotten even more budget friendly. And, some critically acclaimed restaurants are even offering three-course prix-fixe meals—making them an option for a romantic date or just a special night out with your friends. So, instead of drowning your job search sorrows in Mac and Cheese and Ben & Jerry’s, head out to some great restaurants and take advantage of recession prices.

Nice idea but terrible implementation. Using the Google maps was an epic fail.
