Local Business Openings

Last weekend, we cut the ribbon at Kanin Chicago. The opening day line was crazy and they quickly sold out of everything! We stopped back in this week to try some of their skewers and musubi. Delish!

Capriccio Artisan Pizza & Coffee opened this week at 4771 N Lincoln Avenue. We popped in to try out their La Colombe coffee and Roman-style pizza. The funghi was our favorite!

• Primo Chuki's Uptown - 2721 W Lawrence Avenue this will be their second location.
• Pollo Express - 1967 W Lawrence Avenue

Inside Scoop

When Gather closed, it was so sad to lose such a neighborhood gem. It was a favorite spot for so many, including our team at the Chamber. Birthdays and holidays, and everyday meals were made more delicious. One of us said more than once that the Whipped Ricotta would be their choice if given one option for a final meal.

We were elated to see the Whipped Ricotta pop up on The Warbler's North Side Restaurant Week menu, and beside ourselves when we learned it will be a permanent fixture on both the lunch and dinner menus at The Warbler going forward.

That's it. That's all you need to know this week.

Owner Tim Lacey is raising $500,000 on SMBX for working capital to relocate into a bigger space in Lincoln Square and refinance debt. Rather than going to a bank, he’s reaching out to the community to share in their success, giving you the opportunity to earn passive income. You can invest in their growth by purchasing ATLR Small Business Bonds™ on SMBX. After the offering closes, investors will receive monthly payments paid back at 10.75% interest over a 5 year period. View their offering here.
