"Chicago chef Chuck Woods opened Falling Rabbit in Parson’s Alley during the height of the pandemic; it’s a testament to its quality that it’s now an OTP dinner worth driving for, with a casual fine dining vibe and ever-changing fare that can range from bucatini with blue crab custard and fresh black truffle or duck confit with roasted barley to kohlrabi salad with pickled green strawberry. “Wet your whiskers” with similarly seasonal craft cocktails, including the gin-based Space Oddity with Agwa de Bolivia and porcini liqueur and Peas & Quiet, which adds Champagne vinegar to vodka, black peppers, and peas." - Beth McKibben
