Anybody in the Chicago area have good suggestions on Russian grocery shopping, particularly in the area around O'Hare?

Garden Fresh Market is real nice as well as Caputo's. They're both around Naperville but may have stores up that way.

Brookhaven Market is good also.

Not near OHare but Google the location of the Ukrainian Village neighborhood. It is on the NW side... can't remember the name of the market though. Restaurants are in the neighborhood too.

Ukrainian Village is so passe'......it's more Hispanic than Eastern EU these days. Just a fact from a long-time Chicago area resident.

I can't help you in Chicago, but if you are ever in NYC, let me know. Brighton Beach has a ton of stores with just about anything you may want..and then some.

Well, FWIW, I wound up at Inter Deli in a strip mall in Buffalo Grove. I filled the trunk of the car I had gone there to pick up, spent almost $600 but Olya is happy now so I am too! :D I still wonder if there is not a bigger shop somewhere there. Olya does want to see NYC soon but I don't anticipate doing much grocery shopping there.

The Garden Fresh Market in Naperville is quite large and has tons of stuff. The area is home to a large population of both Asians and Indians so besides the usual stuff and lots of Eastern European (incl. Polish and Czech) foods, you'll find the fixins' for Asian/Thai food and Indian dishes. The Produce section is to die for.....and all kinds of salty fish !!

We have a Russian store here in the Dallas area but it is small and limited in selection. Liliya found that the Korean store here had a rather large selection of Russian products as well as a great selection of seafood and caviar. They don’t have Russian beer but they do have a large selection of other international brands. It may be worth it to check out the Korean stores in Chicago.
