The 20 Best New Restaurants In Chicago

"After closing in March, Parachute is back and has transformed into a full-fledged listening bar. It’s a fun and fresh remix in the restaurant’s original Avondale location, with Korean food and drinks that are as exciting as the hifi records echoing in the charming basement-esque space. Hank Williams classics and Korean oldies crackle as friends sit on gnome-shaped stools, eating burgers dipped in cheese and bordelaise or chewy tteokbokki pad thai. At the bar, couples showered in disco ball sparkles dig through a bingsu cocktail’s Fruity Pebbles and shaved makgeolli ice. And though Parachute’s beloved scallion bing bread is back only on Wednesdays (we’ll take it), you’ll still want to see what jams are playing here on any night." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, nick allen, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor,
