Interesting, ever-changing menu with an open kitchen where you can watch these superior chefs at work. Boltwood is named after a wing of Evanston High School which the founders, local guys, attended.

I was skeptical at first but now I'm addicted! A sushi burrito is really a huge hand roll filled with spicy tuna, crab salad, yam and veggies. You can't beat their lunch special.

Parks & Nature

Bike, stroll, jog or skate along the lake front. It's always a treat because the lake never looks the same twice. In the summer there are art and music festivals near the pond. Also concerts on a week night. There's picnic tables and barbecues available. Just make sure to watch for reserved areas.
