    Pilsen Neighborhood Tour

    (13)
    You want Italian food...but you want Mexican food. ...But you want Italian food...but you want Mexican food... The solution? Jalapeno cannolis. Just kidding! That sounds gross. Instead try this cool tour that will take you through Pilsen, Chicago's oldest Italian neighborhood, AND Little Village, known as "The Mexico of the Midwest." You'll get your fill on both cuisines, and learn a little bit about the food, art, and culture of the area. The best part? You'll be driven around by a chef who can teach you all about the history, process, and culture behind the delicious eats! But if that doesn't sound good you could always go back to those jalapeno cannolis... But we don't suggest that.
