Best of the Best: Greektown

Greektown
A bustling strip of Greek restaurant after gyro stand after Greek restaurant, Greektown stands out for its endless pulse, its seven-days-a-week buzz of activity and opaaa’s. Look further and you’ll see the trappings of a still-thriving ethnic neighborhood on Halsted Street between Van Buren and Monroe, from the Greek baker to the candlemaker. And now, the National Hellenic Museum has opened at one end, adding  a permanence to the ethnic heritage on the street.
