The closest large post office. Lines can be long and service poor, but that's Chicago. On the plus side, they do have machines where you can buy postage, and they have slots to drop off your items.

Nori is close to the El tracks and is open late if you need Japanese. I find it loud and the sushi a bit over-elaborate, but this place has been around forever and is always packed.
