Chicago’s concierge community is always out exploring in order to better inform their hotel’s guests on how best to enjoy the city. The Westin’s Rhoda Kucuk recently ventured out to 10 different neighborhoods to find 10 local spots where someone could fill their belly for $10 or less. Here’s a quick look at her various stops.

West Loop The Allis - sliders
The Allis

Pastries, sandwiches and salads, as well as coffee, teas, cold pressed juices and comfy chairs and sofas. Located in the new SoHo House, there is great lighting with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Cozy spot in the Hotel Lincoln with craft espresso drinks, pastries, light fare and shabby-chic decor.

Tucked away on a side street off Wentworth Avenue, you’ll find this local spot offering rice and noodle dishes starting at $3.75.

Greektown

Stop by this charming European café any time of day. Artopitas, Mediterranean starters and soups, and traditional Greek desserts — you can’t go wrong.

Who doesn’t like to people watch, eat pizza and enjoy fresh-brewed beer?

Set out on a culinary adventure at this family-owned spot, where your dollar goes amazingly far with a vast Vietnamese menu of flavorful pho.

Laid-back restaurant and bar serving some kick-ass burgers! Ok. I went 75 cents over and upgraded to truffle fries. Guilty as charged.
