Probably up north, if there are any left.

You can still see old Greeks playing cards and stuff at some of the bakeries in Greektown.

There's a Greek church downtown.

But I'm not really aware of any heavily Greek residential neighborhood.

The only really legitimate Caucasian ethnic enclaves left in the city is Belmont Cragin for Poles, many of whom are leaving, Canaryville (crazy) and, as we've discussed before, arguably Beverly an Mount Greenwood for Irish. And, to a very small degree, a few Italian enclaves.

But in terms of neighborhoods that are legitimately ethnic Caucasian the way, say, Little Village is Mexican, or Humboldt Park is Puerto Rican, it's really just Cragin and Canaryville IMO. Everything else is kind of a stretch.
