Asian Harbor

Asian Harbor offers a menu of Pan Asian dishes that are sure to please. Classic Thai, Japanese, and Chinese dishes are served in a warm, comfortable atmosphere, by a friendly and helpful staff.   

Calumet Fisheries

One of the last wood-smoked seafood restaurants in Illinois, this unassuming, shack-like eatery can be found next to the Calumet bridge. This historic, family-run business serves perfectly prepared smoked or fried seafood of all kinds. No seating inside, so order and take it with you or eat by the river on the bridge.

Cumin

Cumin offers a menu of authentic Napalese and Indian cuisine in a sleek modern atmosphere. Enjoy exotic dishes such as samosas, tandoori, curries and stews. Fantastic service and a delightful cocktail menu.

Kensington
Raise the Roof

Considering the stifling winter we all have to endure each year, Chicagoans are ravenous about their al fresco dining and drinking opportunities. From sidewalk patios to courtyards, there’s no shortage of outdoor dining to be had throughout the city, but in order to find a truly stunning experience, you’ll have to look up. Rooftop bars are absolute treasures, offering sprawling views with quenching cocktails and snackable plates. Here are a few to check out this year.


 

Rockit Bar & Grill
Rockit Relaunch

One of the swankest and most popular bar/restaurants in River North is ready for its relaunch. Rockit Bar & Grill just underwent an extensive redesign and menu revamp, in line with its 10-year anniversary of the downtown entertainment nexus. Now it’s once again ready for its close-up.


 

Duran European Cafe
Cafes Take Baked Goods Into Their Own Hands

For sandwich shops, coffee shops, and cafes, it makes sense to outsource baked goods and desserts from stalwart local sources. After all, the day-to-day focus is elsewhere. That’s what makes it all the more admirable when a sandwich shop or coffee shop takes the baking process into its own hands, going the extra mile to create breads, pastries, and desserts in-house. Such is the case with Duran European Cafe and Dollop Coffee Company.
