Hungry bargain-hunters have been slurping up Penny’s namesake noodles by the carload ever since this convenient (and expanding) concept opened its doors in the Wrigleyville neighborhood. Draws include the healthful fare, low prices, and low-key atmosphere. A local favorite, the restaurant also offers carryout and delivery service.
