The Best Chicago Restaurants For Dining Solo - Chicago - The Infatuation

"For a solo experience that will likely lead to finding a new favorite song, head to Parachute Hi-Fi. This basement-esque Avondale listening bar is a great scene, with vinyl always crackling through the speakers. The menu is Korean with twists, so you'll find stuff like tteokbokki pad thai and drinks like the bingsu cocktail. And even though the walk-in-only place is often busy, the bar is especially laid-back with bartenders who are friendly, and never pushy. But if you do want to geek out with a stranger about the Korean oldies currently playing, Parachute Hi-Fi is a great place for that, too." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
