At this location, you will find yourself in the heart of the little Vietnamese town. Here, you will be able to shop for ethnic foods such as dragon fruit, durian, persimmons, and so much more at three supermarkets. In addition alongside Arygle Avenue, you can sample a taste of Viet food at all the different kinds of restaurants. A popular Viet cuisine to eat would be “pho“, a noodle broth savored in spices and topped off with meat and fresh vegetables; it is a favorite among many non-Vietnamese people as well. For a more easier approach to Viet cuisine, you can try the boba tea or smoothies. They come in interesting flavors: Durian, Avocado, Coconut, Honey Dew, Tamarin, Watermelon, Papaya, etc.

Besides, the Vietnamese town, there are well-known hot spots at Arygle as well. For instance, the old and famous Uptown theater is located there. Also, at the Lawrence stop (one stop away from Argyle), the Aragon Ballroom and Riviera Theater is located there and currently serves as venues for concerts.  With that being said, it is obvious that bars and clubs are conveniently located near these places. The Green Mill is one of the most famous bars here in Chicago as it is know for its music and Chicago mob history (yes, this includes Al Capone!)
