"If Monday night sounds like a great time to live it up and spend $195 on an eight-course tasting menu, head to Boka. And if you’re not, there’s good news for you too: the a la carte options at this decades-old Lincoln Park American spot are equally delicious. Plus, the sophisticated but not too stuffy space works well whether you want a date night with low lighting and cozy booths, or just want to get some friends together to eat ricotta gnochetti and some of the best roast duck in the city. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - adrian kane, john ringor
