Support Your Local Chicago Restaurants

As you practice social distancing and continue to stay at home, I’m sure it’s safe to say that you have found yourself cooking more. The grocery store might have become your favorite thing to do because it’s just about the only thing to do outside of home activities or taking walks – (yes, you can still take walks. Check out this map from the Chicago Park District that shows you what areas are open.) Maybe you have discovered new and delicious recipes so it’s not THAT bad. But what do you do on the days that you don’t have the energy to cook? The good news is that there are plenty of restaurants on the south, west, and east sides that are open for takeout, pickup, or curbside. Most of the restaurants are available for delivery on Ubereats, Grubhub, Doordash, or Postmates. Be sure to do a quick google and social media search on your restaurant of choice for more information or give them a call!
