Stop by Daisies in Logan Square to load up on fresh produce and other cooking essentials at the restaurant’s new fully stocked market.

Kumiko’s carryout cocktails are some of the best in the game—try the Ume Boulevardier with Japanese whiskey, Campari and umeshu.

Curl up on the couch on Saturday morning and tune into Lincoln Park Zoo’s Virtual Meet and Greet, which revolves around polar bears.

These notable Chicago restaurants now permanently closed

ARestaurants have been hit hard by the current crisis, and the sad reality is that many won’t survive. We’re keeping a running list of notable Chicago restaurants and bars that have closed permanently as a way to pay tribute to these culinary greats. This week, we’re saluting Bar Biscay, La Sardine and Harold’s Chicken Shack #55.

Before you go!
Have an insatiable appetite for ice cream and an extra-large freezer at home? You can now get a three-gallon bucket of Jeni’s ice cream delivered straight to your door. That’s about 24 pints or 60 scoops of delicious dessert. We'll let you go measure your freezer now...

Hey Chicago, share the love!
