Honestly, anywhere in the city you'll be fine. Stay away from the far northwest or southwest, bc that's where all the cops live. And people tend to forget that Chicago was essentially the birthplace of the American labor movement. Look up the Haymarket affair. Currently 6 of our 50 Alderpeople are DSA members, and PSL is strong here, too. Affordable, but cool neighborhoods are Old Irving Park and Avondale, less affordable, but still cool are Logan Square, Andersonville and Ravenswood and if you'd prefer the south side, Hyde Park or Kenwood, though the Obama complex will be in Kenwood, so maybe less cool in the fututre. The suburbs I generally wouldn't recommend, with the exceptions of Oak Park and Evanston.
anything is better than the flat floppy grease-slick cardboard they make in NY (that they tell you to FOLD to eat!!!) and every generic italian-themed restaurant that each town within a 200mi radius of NYC has three of.
if you have to fold it to eat it, it's a taco, not a pizza.
midwest pizza scene is best pizza scene. you get chicago (deep dish AND thin), detroit, NY, whatever. switching it up is easy as fuck. it just sucks when you go to an area and the pizza is just so mono. ill stuff my face with NY pizza too.

Every pizza is just a baked open-face sandwich.

There's no need to put down NYC pizza to talk up that lasagne Chicagoans call pizza

We hardly eat deep dish pizza. Idk why people think that’s the only pizza we eat. I have it maybe once a year.
most chicagoans i know prefer thin crust lol
Oh yeah lol. I tell people if they want Chicago food they should get an Italian beef sandwich or a Chicago style hot dog.
oh man italian beef is the one thing i really miss not eating meat anymore
