Tanta

The Peruvian dishes at Tanta will transport you. The knowledgeable staff will guide you through an authentic menu of seafood, ceviche, empanadas and more. The atmosphere is lively, including live music periodically and a terrific rooftop.  The pisco sour is to die for.

Feast Your Eyes and Mouths at Holiday Markets

Instead of trampling strangers in order to get a big box bargain, do yourself a favor and swing by a holiday market or two. Not only will your conscious be clean, but you’ll be enriching yourself with holiday spirit and exploring unique provisions as varied as comic posters, hot sauce, food subscriptions, and Italian panettone.

The 12 Days of Christmas Eating and Drinking

The 12 days of Christmas are much more than turtle doves, partridges in pear trees, and other festive fowl. Rather, restaurants and bars have adopted their own takes on the festive ditty, using it as inspiration for cocktail specials, burgers, and more.


 

Bordel
Bars Mix Things Up

Nothing like a little camaraderie to make cocktails taste better. Chicago’s restaurant scene is famously community-oriented, filled with chefs throughout the city eager to support one another. The bar department is no different, with mixologists happy to shake drinks alongside their brethren. Two spots jumping on board the guest bartender bandwagon of late, The Winchester and Bordel, are mixing things up by featuring drinks from various mixologists around the city and the country.
