Restaurants south of 111th:<br />
<br />
Many small places on Halsted and Michigan. Also 115th from Michigan east to St. Lawrence. BBQ, Chinese, fried chicken, pizza and sandwiches are the most common cuisines.<br />
<br />
I confess that I haven't checked these out yet, other than Cal Harbor (546 E 115th) - basic diner food.<br />
<br />
Downtown <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/s/2?q=60406" target="_blank">Blue Island</a>, a few miles west of Whistler Woods (south end of trail) has MANY options, including some tasty bakeries.
