For arab stores, go to kedzie and lawrence, montrose and pulaski, that whole area. Also go to Harlem and 81st all the up to Harlem and 100th and even farther up. and LaGrange and 141st and all the way up to 191st etc... Chicago has the largest Palestinian population in America.

I thought Pakistanis are consider Arabs too as well being South Asian. Maybe I was wrong all this time

Pakistani isn't an ethnic group; in fact the country has several:

Punjabis (44.15%)
Pashtuns (15.42%)
Sindhis (14.1%)
Seraikis (10.53%)
Muhajirs (7.57%)
Balochis (3.57%)

All of whom speak languages in the Indo-Aryan group and are therefore more closely related to Europeans than to the Arabs.

Uhh there are Arabs and Arab items on and around Devon Ave.

Want a little bit of proof?
================================================== ================================
Nayab Mart

"One of the Best Clean 100% Zabiha Halal Meat & Grocery Store open 24 hrs on Devon Ave in Chicago
All the Best quality Indian, Pakistani, Arabic, and Bangladeshi food item and other herbal needs..."

Best Store in Devon Ave - Nayab Mart Chicago, 60659

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zakarian International Video 6333 N. Clark, 773.761.3332


"With videos from countries such as Egypt, Syria, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, Zakarian has easily the largest collection of Arabic-language videos in the city. If you don't read Arabic, you'll have trouble choosing which videos to rent from the hundreds listed, in Arabic only, in the store's huge three-ring binders. There are photocopies of some video boxes in the notebooks, and the counter people are willing to discuss films once they are sure you are serious about renting an Arab-language video. Virtually none of the videos are subtitled in English. Still, Anna Zakarian, owner of the twenty-year-old family business, says that more than 50 percent of her customers speak only English, and she recalls English-only renters choosing titles that don't have subtitles."
