Chicago’s Essential Outdoor Dining Spots

"The most-visited patio in town needs little introduction. Come early (dogs are welcome) or expect to wait a while as the line is sometimes hours long. Those who tough it out are rewarded with tacos, margaritas, whisky, and a prime spot for people watching. There’s another Big Star at Hotel Zachary across from Wrigley Field while the seafood-focused Big Star Mariscos is in West Town." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
