Luxe Lebanese Lounge Mya by Medi Brings Cocktails and Belly Dancing to River North | Eater Chicago
"Three years earlier I visited Medi, a stylish, family‑friendly Lebanese restaurant in Lincoln Park opened in 2021 by Paul Alqas and Elias Younan; its emphasis on Lebanese cuisine and aesthetics inspired the sister lounge Mya. Hermiz Younan, who founded the now‑closed Andersonville favorite Kan Zaman, now helms Medi’s Lincoln Park kitchen alongside his wife Helene Younan, bringing a homey style of cooking that the owners felt wasn’t the right fit for the more nightlife‑oriented Mya." - Naomi Waxman
