Chicago Guides

Chicago After 50: Dinner, a Band or Your Neighborhood Bar Choose the Chicago evening you want, from a seasonal dinner to a favorite band. The room matters as much as the menu. Chicago Bars: Choose the Room Before the Round A beer garden, a whiskey bar and a Japanese dining bar make different evenings. Find the Chicago room you actually want to stay in. Chicago BBQ: Rib Tips, Hot Links or Brisket? Find the barbecue meal you feel like eating. South Side rib tips, a West Loop tray and a Beverly smokehouse give Chicago different reasons to head out. Chicago Game Day: Go to the Venue or Watch at the Pub A stadium ticket and a morning soccer match make different plans. Choose the actual Chicago game, then the place to eat. Chicago Live Music: Jazz, Blues or a Concert Room? Let the music give the evening a reason to happen. Choose an Uptown jazz set, Lincoln Park blues or a Pilsen concert. Chicago Restaurant Closures: Keep the Branch Straight An old favorite can lead to a closed door. These Chicago records keep the farewell and any continuing branch easy to find. Family Fun in Chicago: A Meal With Something to Do Let the kids have fun while the grown-ups enjoy the day too. Make it bowling, a zoo visit, hands-on play or lunch with the dolls. MICHELIN Chicago: Daytime Kasama or a Tasting Dinner? Choose the meal you want before choosing a star. Chicago’s current selection and each restaurant’s service can help you plan the evening. Vegan Chicago: Soul Food, Diner Meals and a Neighborhood Table Find a plant-based meal with its own reason to go. Choose South Side soul food, a diner shake or an Edgewater dinner.
