An upscale Southern restaurant, a beach-themed bar, and plenty of other spots opening their doors.

The scene is booming, but some cracks are starting to show.

It's very small and very red, and the drinks are very delicious.

A BBQ, boozy shopping, and more dining events in store.

Stick to offshore eats and cocktails and you'll be plenty happy.

So many restaurants opened!

It'll do just fine, but it won't blow your mind.

If you’re new to the agave-based spirit, give the refreshing Pal O’Mine a try.

A birthday party, a wine tasting, and, oh, yeah, the Taste of Chicago.
