I think they're kind of spread out throughout the area. I don't think there is an Albanian neighborhood in Chicago. There is an Albanian Soccer club somewhere in DuPage County. Poke around the internet and see what you can find. Albanians are either Christian or Moslem...you may be able to find some churches or mosques and start from there.

There's St. Nicholas Albanian Orthodox Church on Naragansett by Diversey; perhaps there are Albanians in that area?

There was (and I'm going back about 8 years) an Albanian social club on Montrose, just west of Damen. I don't know if its still there. I think there was a small pocket of Albanians around that area back then. There is also a pizza jpint called Nolis that served some Albanian dishes--its up by Kedzie and Lawrence. I don't know of any other Albanian bars or restaurants, but I suspect there are more than a few Albanians in the bar/restaurant business in CHicago.

I am pretty sure that place is gone now. I somewhat remember it. I think it is a post office location now.
