It also depends which downtown - Evanston has a few. The main one, near Davis St at Orrington, is nice. There's a lot of spillover from NU but also a bunch of nice restaurants and a mix of bars that skew to the college-y.

The strip along Main St is quieter and smaller.

The strip along Central Av is very suburban-feeling.
