A bona fide beach in the heart of bustling Chicago—Oak Street is anything but an idler's shore. Skaters, runners, cyclists, and volleyball teams favor the area between 1550 and 500 North Lake Shore Drive, while people-watchers claim the concrete ledges at both sides. At the south end, restaurants and street vendors dish up on-the-go grub and fancy fare—steaks, seafood, and gourmet salads.
