Q: WHAT’S THE MUST-SEE SHOW CURRENTLY IN CHICAGO? A: Everyone will say

“Hamilton” and rightfully so. It’s fantastic. But if you want a different kind of suspense, drama and whimsical entertainment within arms reach, look no further than Chicago Magic Lounge. Located at 5050 N. Clark, in the Andersonville neighborhood, enjoy performing arts featuring magicians.

EXPERT TIP

After dinner head to The Fudge Pot, in Old Town, for the walnut-covered caramel apple, a dessert that’s perfectly sweet and salty.

I will never turn down Sushi Dokku in the West Loop. Anyone can make a Godzilla Roll but Dokku’s is the best. The Ecuador Maki is a staple in every order, too. A new favorite is the seared salmon and albacore, with a hint of citrus at the end, even though there is no lemon or lime in sight.

South Side of Chicago, I have found that the view heading north on Lake Shore Drive has always provided a great backdrop. And, if you plant yourself at the Adler Planetarium, you can get that perfect shot of the skyline, park and harbor all in one.

This is magic as it should be, direct, right at your fingertips in an intimate space that leaves you entertained and in awe.

And, more than rabbits are pulled out of a hat.

at in or dine out? That is the eternal question for people everywhere in Chicago. With so many incredible restaurants a footstep away, why even bother cooking when someone else can do it so much better? And so it’s often that us residents, too, join in on the great dining experience afforded to us in this city, which even Bon Appetit recognized as the Restaurant City of the Year not so long ago.

From mom and pop corner shops to 24-hour diners, classic Chicago steakhouses and gastronomic feats, sweet stops and coffeeshops, there’s no shortage of incredible places to nosh. Take your pick in Greektown, Little Italy and Chinatown for even more authentic offerings.

This new May issue is devoted to the tireless chefs and unique establishments that provide meals every day, including the new spots profi led in “Where Now” that are making food fun again. Many of these acclaimed chefs are up for awards in the national James Beard Awards, a prestigious night considered the Oscars of the culinary world that has been hosted in Chicago for several years. Tickets are available to the public for the event, hosted by actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson and held at the Lyric Opera Of Chicago on May 6.

If food is really the way to someone’s heart, Chicago has nothing but love.

Start Playing With Your Food

Fine dining is getting some serious competition in Chicago as a new crop of restaurants come to the table with whimsical displays and creative menu options that encourage guests to make food fun again. From interactive experiences to artful displays and devouring something known as “goth bread,” these new local hot spots replace the white linen culture with a youthful, experiential approach to dining out that makes the meal even more memorable. Here are some of our new favorites that are whipping up something special.

With a brand-new location in Chicago (sister spots are in L.A. and Miami Beach), Barton G. expands its reputation for over-the-top presentation, known as one of the world’s most Instagrammable restaurants. Try the whole grilled bronzini on a large floral bed and Marie Antoinette’s Head (at left), a cotton candy pompadour dessert.

The eclectic Modern American dishes and whimsical cocktail program from a Violet Hour alum (some come with hammers and a creme brulee texture) are enough to make us love this new Wicker Park spot but even more unique is the restaurant’s in-house flower shop and floral program, including the city’s first tableside floral cart.

Get major beachy vibes when you step into this laidback surfer shack that offers a vegan food and cocktail menu. While surf boards and wicker furniture add to the ambiance, it’s the veggie ‘crab’ cakes and golden beet poke we crave.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES C

hicago is known for its food staples, including pizza, hot dogs and Italian beef. But the city also offers a few restaurants that give a taste of another city’s preparation style.

PIZZA: CHICAGO VS. QUAD CITIES

HOT DOGS: CHICAGO VS. DETROIT There’s not many rules for Chicago-style hot dogs, except for one very important guideline—don’t ever use ketchup. A typical Chicago Red Hot like those found at Weiner’s Circle (2622 N. Clark St.) includes an all-beef frankfurter, poppyseed bun, yellow mustard, onions, relish, tomato, a pickle spear and celery salt.

The new spot Lola’s Coney Island (2858 W. Chicago

Ave.) serves up a Michigan favorite called the Coney dog that includes beef chili, mustard, onions and sometimes cheese.

BEEF SANDWICH: CHICAGO VS. PHILLY Chicago is also known as the headquarters for a hearty Italian beef sandwich. One of our favorites is at Portillo’s (with various locations around the city) that features an Italian roll, thin-sliced chuck roast that’s marinated in beef broth, and your choice of sweet or hot peppers.

If you’re loyal to a Philly Cheesesteak, you can also find that in the city at spots like Monti’s (4757 N. Talman) where thin-cut ribeye and melted cheese are stuffed into a hoagie roll.



COURTESY LOLA’S CONEY ISLAND

Any way you slice it, Chicago pizza is one of the foods that makes this city second to none. One of the styles most famous to Chicago is the classic deep dish, a hearty stuffed pan-style pizza that includes mounds of cheese, and toppings baked under a layer of tomato sauce. For an authentic presentation, head to Lou Malnati’s, Gioradano’s or Gino’s East, all with various locations. If you want to

try a totally different style of pizza, Roots Handmade Pizza (1924 W. Chicago Ave. and 2200 W. Lawrence Ave.) serves Quad Cities-style pies, with a malt-flavored thick crust and a spicy sauce that’s cut into slices with scissors.

In the past few years, Chicago’s neighboring town of Evanston has revamped its dining scene into a mecca, led by award-winning establishments including Amy Morton’s Found Kitchen + Social House and sommelier Alpana Singh’s Terra & Vine.

Located in a bustling college town, with Northwestern University, Evanston is known for its kitschy shops such as favorite Squeezebox Books & Music that has rarities and new releases as well as women’s go-to for global finds, The Mexican Shop.

Up until the last few decades, Evanston was a dry town. Local bars have wasted no time in getting things back up to speed with a number of craft breweries in town and speakeasies like Bourbon ‘N Brass that pay homage to a bygone era.

This town also knows how to have fun, with a range of recreational activities and entertainment including Northwestern games, concerts at an intimate SPACE venue and workshops at the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian.
