A Christkindlmarket-Inspired Pop-Up Hopes to Save the Holidays From COVID-19 | Eater Chicago

"Drawing thousands to Daley Plaza each year, Christkindlmarket is an annual holiday festival I've been a food vendor at for six years and a tradition I rely on for revenue; it's known for popular, gooey raclette and collectible vintage mugs that fans seek out downtown every year. Because mass gatherings can spread coronavirus, organizers moved the 2020 event online, which was disappointing, though they gave their blessing for our independent pop-up in front of Dmen Tap (it is not officially affiliated), and they handled the vintage mug orders even if I'm not sure which designs they'll send." - Ashok Selvam
