Does anyone recall The Cottage Restaurant on North Clark St.
near Wrigley Field back in the 60's? It was a popular hangout
for the ballplayers. Seems like no one remembers this place.

I know it was there in 1966 because a cousin had
dinner there with Mike Shannon and Tim McCarver
of the St. Louis Cardinals when they were in town
for a Cubs game.

The Cottage Restaurant was located at 3174 N. Clark. It was owned by former ball player, Fred Hattenberger. There is a May 3rd, 1964 Chicago Tribune article on The Cottage.
There was another Cottage Restaurant in Bellwood which I don't believe was related to the Clark Street location.

Thank you so much for responding and giving me the info and address
of the restaurant. Watching the All-Star Game last July and seeing
Tim McCarver brought back memories of the restaurant, and I have been
trying to pinpoint the exact location ever since. Thanks again.
