City overview
Chicago pairs world-class architecture, museums and a long Lake Michigan shoreline with one of the largest Orthodox communities in the Midwest. Most kosher restaurants, bakeries, groceries and shuls sit in West Rogers Park and Peterson Park on the city's Far North Side, along Devon Avenue, Touhy Avenue and California Avenue, and continue just over the city line into Lincolnwood and Skokie, home to several large Modern Orthodox shuls and a full kosher supermarket. Downtown, the Gold Coast, River North, the Loop, the South Loop and Lakeview each have a Chabad house, and Lakeview has a Modern Orthodox shul steps from the lakefront. Kosher supervision in the city is overwhelmingly by the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc).
