Lunch and parking map, curated by Allan Berry
Food options are mostly clustered in three places: Greektown (N of the freeway along Halsted), Taylor street (SW of campus), and University Village (S along Halsted).

Public Transit: Take the Blue Line west from the Loop; get off at the UIC-Halsted stop. Walk south.
More information on visiting UIC, including (better) mass-transit directions
Parking in a UIC lot will cost $13 for a full day.
If you're driving, there are several parking lots available (marked on the above map); I recommend the one south of campus (1135 Morgan). Note that no streets connect Harrison with Taylor, including Morgan, between Racine and Halsted; to reach the south lot, come up Morgan from Roosevelt.
Circle Interchange difficulties
- Circle Interchange (the confluence of I-90 and I-290 just NE of campus) construction is ongoing.
- Construction is causing traffic havoc nearby, especially near the corner of Harrison and Halsted. The Harrison bridge over I-90 doesn't currently exist. Best to avoid this area if possible.
- The Morgan street exit from I-290 has been closed for some time. According to IDOT:
  - Exiting access is prohibited from Westbound I-290/Congress Parkway
  - From Southbound I-90/94 - exit Adams Street
  - From Northbound I-90/94 - exit Ashland Avenue, backtrack east via Jackson Boulevard or Harrison Street
