Greektown, Chicago is a neighborhood located near the University of Chicago that was originally established in the 1840s by Greek food peddlers. It was relocated in the 1960s when the Eisenhower Expressway was constructed. The neighborhood is home to several Greek restaurants including The Parthenon and Athena, as well as the National Hellenic Museum which teaches about Greek culture and immigration history. The authors felt the neighborhood had a real traditional feel inside the restaurants and was an easier area to access than their initial visit.
