    Italian, overlooking the river, in the fancy St. Regis hotel, big-name chef—this Lakeshore East spot has “see and be seen” in its DNA. Couples with multiple summer homes linger over a casual $400 bottle of wine, while a rock band wearing cut-off jean vests and graphic tees eat rigatoni in a giant booth. And with the combined magic of dim lighting and remembering to pick up your dry cleaning, you will also feel like a pasta-twirling VIP.

    Disregard what the calendar says—summer officially starts when Parson’s big striped umbrellas are in full bloom, and Chicagoans yearning to remember 80-degree weather swarm this Logan Square patio (and its Andersonville and Lincoln Park clones).

    InnJoy is perfect if you’re too old and sophisticated to be partying it up at a college scene in Lincoln Park but secretly wish you still could. Head to Wicker Park on Saturday nights at 10pm for retro music video dance parties where DJs spin throwbacks from the ‘80s through the 2010s. It gets crowded, but there’s enough room to move around and dance, so you know it will be a good time. Do you believe in life after love? We do.
