You’ve been here before. But you haven’t. And yet, it really feels like you have... Embrace the nostalgia at Millie’s Supper Club, a woodsy slice of middle-of-nowhere Wisconsin hospitality that’s somehow wriggled its way into Lincoln Park. It opens Tuesday, and this slideshow feels like home. You may have thought the days of warm breadbaskets, giant
Roister. You might’ve heard this word mentioned a few times over the course of the weekend, in conjunction with phrases like “I heard it’s the new place from the Alinea guys” and “Huh. Totally rhymes with ‘oyster.’” Makes sense, seeing as how both of those things are true. It’s open now in the West Loop and this is its menu. Given the caliber of this
Us: Bet we can make you want to go to Evanston later this week. You: Bet you can’t. Us: No, really. Look here. You: Damn. And lo, you enter a vehicle and make haste to Whiskey Thief—a comely old-world bar from some Pearl Tavern people and an ex-Hogsalt chef involving cheese-curd-topped burgers, bacon-wrapped things and a whiskey cart full of whiskey. It
What we have for you today is a tiny little restaurant named Giant. ... Seeing what they did there aside, this is the long-awaited, low-key date spot from ex-Nightwood chef Jason Vincent, and it opens next Friday in Logan Square. You’ll notice there isn’t much real estate here. Just two yellow-accented gray banquettes lining opposite walls and a few
A sub shop to your right. An updated 1950s-style dining room to your left. A velvety lounge straight ahead. Ah, yes. It would appear that Nonnina—the just-opened total revamp, re-concept, re-everything of Piccolo Sogno Due—has you surrounded. Now, please stay calm as we equip you with an arsenal of facts designed to help you navigate this overwhelmingly
Tonight, you dine on tuna crudo under twinkly lights nestled in ivy, on a terrace overlooking an impossibly blue stretch of the Mediterranean sea... Sort of. Basically. Because tonight, you dine at Ēma—an ex-Intro chef’s foray into Mediterranean spreads, wines, seafood and other fresh, summery things, open now in River North. You should probably take a
Maybe you lay low this weekend. Hang out. Watch something Netflix-y. Because on Monday, it’s all medicinal whiskey and chocolate-covered foie gras inside a 19th-century Chicago landmark. At Steadfast, a new place to eat interesting things and drink rare whiskeys at the Kimpton Gray Hotel. It looks like this and, yes, it opens Monday. “Humble” is a word
Today, you’re enjoying a slice of Brooklyn right here in Chicago. Actually, several slices. Of pizza. In case that wasn’t clear, we were talking about pizza. ... Ignore whatever just happened up there and press on to Paulie Gee’s Logan Square—the first Chicago iteration of the hallowed Brooklyn pizzeria, involving a surplus of wood-fired Italian sausage
You’ve been cordially invited to dine in a charming old Southern mansion this evening. It’s in Wicker Park. And Korean short rib is involved. So, right. Nothing in that first sentence makes sense anymore. But everything will be illuminated in this exposé of Dixie and 1952 ½, an idyllic Southern restaurant and a bourbon-drenched liquorette, respectively,
“Chicago has a new Italian restaurant.” Hmm. Let’s try that again... “Chicago has a new Italian restaurant from Billy Lawless boasting vodka-and-prosecco slushies, rosemary ham Neapolitan pizzas and local hogs butchered in-house.
