Nestled just southwest of downtown Chicago, Simone's resides on a historic stretch of 18th Street, one of the main thoroughfares of the Pilsen neighborhood. Our neighbors include the numerous art galleries of the Chicago Arts District, the students and residents of University Village, and the many great restaurants and shops which line 18th Street.
If you drive over to visit us, the local streets are usually not congested. Interstate 90/94 offers exits at 18th Street (southbound) and Canalport (northbound). Street parking is typically available on 18th Street and on side streets.
Public transportation options include CTA Bus Route 8 (on Halsted Street) and CTA Bus Route 60 (on Blue Island Avenue). The closest El station is the Orange Line El stop at Halsted and Archer streets. For more information about public transit, visit the Chicago Transit Authority Web site at www.transitchicago.com.
If you're biking over to Simone's, 18th Street is a city-recommended bike route, and Halsted and Blue Island both feature bike lanes. Don't forget your helmet!
