You may celebrate the annual Colchester oyster feast, which originated in early Norman days in Colchester, England, to mark the official opening of the oyster eating season, in the dining room of a Michigan Boulevard hotel; you may also celebrate the Passover feast of the Jews by much eating of matzos and gefiilte fish in a restaurant patronized by Jewish intellectuals and writers in the west side Jewish quarter.

Crepes Suzette as fine as any served in France are to be had in Chicago; and those incomparable Italian specialties, veal scallopine and spaghetti with Parmesan cheese, are items to be found on the menus of many an obscure cafe in "Little Italy;" Swedish smorgasbords tempt you in the eating houses of "Herring Lane," as the north side Swedish district is called ; and the best waffles in town are found in a little Uptown waffle shop.

Not to forget those familiar American edibles -- wheat cakes, ham and eggs, pies, strawberry shortcake, red-hots,
Boston baked beans, roast turkey, sugar-cured ham and baked Idaho potatoes -- all these you may find most appetizing in the many and varied white-tiled lunch rooms of "Toothpick Row," in the middle of the Loop. Excellent foods are also to be had in most of the restaurants located in railroad terminals and, for the shopper, in State Street department stores.
