On Hyde Park

My onetime--and still occasional--haunt gets coverage. I definitely recommend 57th Street Books, but I would also point people to the Seminary Co-op Bookstore on University Avenue--both are really great places to browse for books so you cannot go wrong but the latter has more of a selection and its location in the basement the Chicago Theological Seminary means that you can walk through the glorious CTS building before or after shopping at the bookstore. The Medici is simply great and irresistible; I highly recommend their pan spinach pizza and it is one of the few places around where one can procure RC Cola--a huge benefit in my book.
In general, visitors should make it a point to walk around as much of the University of Chicago campus as possible; the gothic architecture is really stunning when set against the scenery. Also, if one is in the mood for landmarks, one ought to try to visit KAM Isaiah Israel, which is my synagogue. Warning: It is also right across the street from the President-elect's house so don't be surprised if (a) you find it difficult to find parking around there, (b) you find it difficult to even travel down Hyde Park Boulevard and (c) you are just plain turned away (though if the President-elect is not there, you will find it easier to get around).
