|
Hey, Chicago. Take a deep breath, unclench your jaw and relax your shoulders. Good—now tune into this inexplicably beautiful live cam that the Shedd Aquarium set up in one of its most colorful pools of water, which is filled with angelfishes, wrasses, tangs and butterflyfishes. We’re feeling better already, aren’t you? | |

Secret sushi den Naoki shuttered toward the end of last year, leaving a shrimp-sized hole in our hearts. You can imagine our delight when we found out that chef Naoki Nakashima was back in the kitchen with a resurrected pop-up of his beloved restaurant for a limited time. |

While we wait for Yuzu Sushi & Robata Grill to reopen to the public, we’ll happily order takeout and delivery to get us by. If it's your first time ordering from Yuzu, try a few jumbo rolls, a handful of grilled skewers and an appetizer or two. The Chicago Spring Roll is out of this world, too. |

One of the hardest things about social distancing is that we don't get to see our friends, family members and favorite bartenders whenever we want. But the sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can all get back to our normal lives. Until then, we will happily delight in these quarantine-themed cakes
from Chicago pastry genius Emily Nejad, owner of Bon Vivant Cakes. Available for no-contact delivery, each confection comes emblazoned with cheeky phrases, like “Can’t Touch This” and “Free the TP.” How sweet. | |
