GOOD QUESTION

Q: Where can I get a meal for under $30? I want to go "where locals eat - classy but not pretentious, comfortable & creative."

@alacardchicago suggests: Lula Cafe in Logan Square.

@MSURabbott adds: OpenTable is a cool resource, you can research and make a reservation http://tr.im/db3p

@izatchu suggests: I'd say Hopleaf, if you could get a table. But how about also Friendship Chinese in Log. Sq.? Both are less busy weeknights.

@timfrick adds: YesThai on Damen/Foster; Hema's Kitchen off Devon or Clark St., Cho Sun Ok on Lincoln Ave.; or La Cazuela on Clark are good.
