"Lesser degree" may have been true 10 years ago, but now, downtown Palatine is very lively. There are tons of bars (a few of which double as dance clubs, but the clientele is no fun) and restaurants. And in the summer, there are street fests and concerts in the park. Not to mention the old classic, Durty Nellie's.

Winnetka has a very cute downtown and the Metra stops right there.
