Chicago has seen its share of new ritzy steakhouses recently, but nothing as literally big as The Alston. This River North spot from the chef at Esmé will have 350 seats with a third-floor view overlooking State Street, an outdoor terrace with DJ sets, and a members-only club. Expect steakhouse classics alongside a $400 cheesecake with caviar. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

About 2 minutes reading time. CHICAGO (AP) — Infielder Orlando Arcia signed with the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, and was in their lineup as the designated hitter against the Cubs in Chicago, three days after he was released by Atlanta. The 30-year-old Arcia, an NL All-Star in 2023, was Atlanta’s opening day shortstop this season, but lost the job to Nick Allen. Arcia was batting .194 with one RBI through 14 games when Atlanta on May 23, then cut him.

Zeitlin's Deli has some of our favorite bagels, though we've only been able to get them at farmers markets and From Here On food hall. This summer, they're opening a spot in Lincoln Park with a larger menu featuring their chewy, dense bagels. Zeitlin's will also have new coffee drinks and some seating space. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

LIA stands for "Life Imitates Art," and that bumper sticker-like name isn’t the only curious thing about this new River North restaurant. The space will feature installations by local artists, DJ sets, and a seafood-heavy menu divided into three sections: small, large, and vegetables. Chicago doesn't have many restaurants that combine art with dinner, but we're intrigued to see how LIA is more than just aesthetics. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
