Hip Sushi bar and Japanese BBQ spot with a really awesome, really cheap happy hour that runs from Monday-Saturday 5pm-6:30pm. Order the weirder things on the menu--they're the best.

There are two locations in the city, but Black Dog Gelato in Wicker Park is a must-try. They serve really unique gelato flavors like Caramel Goat Cheese & Vanilla, or Mexican Hot Chocolate.
