ALBANY PARK — Chicago’s first silvana shop is open in Albany Park. What began as a pandemic baking project for husband-and-wife duo Katrina and Mharloe Requiron has grown into Crumbs.nd.Creams, where customers will find Filipino sandwich cookies in flavors like ube, mocha, Nutella, and buko pandan. The shop also offers flans. 4825 N. Pulaski Road.
ANDERSONVILLE — Martini lovers in Andersonville have a new haunt. Wil’s Martini Lounge, a sleek bar from a former manager of Marty’s Martini Bar, has debuted on Catalpa Avenue. The menu balances timeless classics like a gin martini and an espresso martini with playful signatures such as the Charlie’s Cosmo (grapefruit-rose vodka, triple sec, cranberry and lime juices). A second adjoining room in the storefront next door is expected to open before Thanksgiving. 1478 W. Catalpa Avenue.
CHATHAM — A new wine and charcuterie bar has opened on Chatham’s 75th Street corridor. A long-awaited dream from South Side couple Jacare Thomas and Charlette Stanton, Park Manor 75 highlights wines and spirits from Black-owned producers alongside cocktails curated by mixologist Josh Davis. The menu by chef Ronald Taylor features flatbreads named after Chicago neighborhoods, like the Park Manor topped with roast beef, lamb, tzatziki, and mild sauce. 600 E. 75th Street.
WEST LOOP — Following successful runs in La Grange and Wicker Park, Indian restaurant Kama has come to West Loop’s Restaurant Row. The new flagship location offers South Asian flavors through an international lens, paired with creative cocktails in a space designed to evoke modern India. Executive chef Esteban Nuñez whips up dishes like lamb ragu over rice noodles and short rib nihari, while the bar program features house-infused syrups with Indian spices and playful cocktails such as an apricot spritz served with Pop Rocks. 812 W. Randolph Street.
WICKER PARK — One of Chicago’s favorite Thai spots has expanded with a new outpost in Wicker Park. Tuk Tuk Thai Isan Street Food, known for its regional dishes like grilled pork neck, papaya salads, and whole fried snapper in sweet-sour chili sauce — has landed on Division Street, bringing a popular BYOB policy and menu built around bold, funky, spicy flavors. It replaces Seadog Sushi Bar. 1500 W. Division Street.
