Even north of Division and east of Clark, there's Mario's, the Third Coast, the Pump Room, Hash House, Eduardo's, Zebra Lounge, Potash Market, 3 Arts Cafe. When I lived at Schiller and Dearborn, I enjoyed stopping in at Mario's after work. My then-roommate and I were eating there the evening after 9/11 that Bush announced the invasion of Afghanistan - it was a silent, community-feeling, patriotic moment, perhaps the last time during the Bush administration everyone, Republican, Democrat, or other, only felt "American" with no divisions as everyone in the restaurant stopped eating and focused on the televisions. Does LSE have anyplace like that?
And on just the west side of Clark you can add Elly's (for now), Tiparos, the returning Jewel, and of course the bars on Division itself and the restaurants on the south side of Division.
LSE doesn't seem to have as many places, imho.
