Chicago News
Chicago’s Best Restaurants: The New York Times has expanded into covering restaurants beyond just New York City for the first time, and they just published a list of the 25 Best Restaurants in Chicago. You can also check out this great recap article from Eater Chicago that highlights the main takeaways.
Goose Island: After closing their original Clybourn Avenue taproom in Lincoln Park last year, Goose Island will now be opening a new brewpub along the Chicago River at the Salt Shed entertainment complex on May 3.
Wrigley Field Soccer: For the first time ever, Wrigley Field will host a women’s professional soccer match. The game will take place on June 8 between the Chicago Red Stars and Bay FC. Wrigley Field hasn’t hosted a soccer game in over a decade, so this should be really cool. Get all the details.
Rooftop Season: With the weather in Chicago beginning to warm up, one of the best places to take advantage of the nice temperatures is on a rooftop! Not sure where to go? TimeOut Chicago put together a list of the 34 best rooftop bars in Chicago.
Chicago Pizza: Which type of Chicago pizza is better: tavern-style thin crust or deep dish?! Here is what Chicagoans had to say. If you ask Yelp’s new rankings however, they think California is actually the best place to find Chicago-style pizza.

Shake Shack Shade: Thanks to a new promotion, you can get a free chicken sandwich every Sunday in April at Shake Shake. See how they threw shade at Chick-fil-A and how to get your free chicken sandwiches.
Marshmello: ICYMI, Marshmello and Sudden Death played an impromptu DJ set on the rooftop of The Wiener’s Circle this past weekend. A huge crowd formed to witness the crazy moment.
Chicago Day Trips: As we get closer to summer, doing a day trip to explore somewhere near Chicago is always a lot of fun! Especially when there are so many great options a close drive away.
Poll Question of the Week
