There's a berry fest. And a beer fest. And free cookies! What's not to love about this week?

Chicago is finally seeing some long-awaited names: Boltwood is here, Knife & Tine replaces Sprout, Ramen-San opens for lunch, and Lagunitas starts pouring pints.

It's big and pretty—and everyone's going to want a seat.

Ice cream happy hour(s), a whole-veal dinner, and a Game of Thrones support/drinking group.

These fresh outdoor spots are perfect for sitting and sipping in the shade.

You can get fried chicken and champagne, find a fine new fish sandwich, or run a porky 0.05 kilometer race in the name of bacon.

After the cronut, anything's possible--so we built a food combo generator that lets you invent and name the next big thing in dining. Croffles, anyone?

Sip a strong, summer-friendly cocktail at these Chicago bars before June 8, and help a charity every time you raise a glass.

Live music, expensive beer, and an 8-spigot Slurpee Truck: Here's what it all looked like.

Half-price fine (wining and) dining and Ramen Restaurant Alley. Need we say more?
