The taco trucks that cluster outside the Art Institute are all fantastic. The best Jewish deli in the Loop is Eleven Diner, everything about that place is old school legit. Xi’an Cuisine is the best Chinese food I’ve found in the Loop short of going to Chinatown, which is of course worth doing.

This doesn’t seem like a net negative if it lessens the need for surface parking lots in cities. Doesn’t ride-sharing allow urban density and help affordability?
