Neighborhood Crawl: Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights
Dessert: Mitchell’s Fish and Chips Yes, you’ll want to come back another time for deep-fried porgy and melting collard greens, but desserts are totally worth a pilgrimage all on their own. You can’t go wrong with whatever happens to be under the glass domes lining the steam counter, from towering red velvet cake shellacked with dense cream cheese frosting and studded with pecans, to juicy peach cobbler, silky banana pudding and nutmeg-scented sweet potato pie.
