Flavors of the West Side

There are many culinary gems on Chicago’s West Side. The restaurant scene has many old favorites and some new additions.

TNT Rooftop, located at 5405 W. Madison St., opened less than a year ago. Owners Anthony and Taneka Anderson bring fine dining to the area. Custom cocktails from the full bar kick off a meal served either indoors or on the Miami-style rooftop terrace. An extensive menu makes for an upscale dining experience, with lamb, seafood and plenty of vegan options. And to make the evening even more relaxing, the restaurant offers a ride to and from your destination for an additional fee.

Black foodies Dino and Coretta Dean are on a mission to support and promote Black businesses. Their social media posts span the globe, but one of their most recent discoveries is a new shop along Division Street called Shake A Leg.
