This Wicker Park diner has trains on the brain. Decked-out like a 1950s railroad dining car and located beneath the Damen stop on the Blue Line, this snazzy spot specializes in eclectic American fare, martinis and neighborhood atmosphere. Entrees, which come with soup or a house salad, include contemporary takes on comfort food classics. Stake out a spot on the patio to watch the neighborhood action -- or sports or classic movies on the 52-inch flat-screen.
