Chicago Restaurant Week Will Return with Accommodations for COVID Safety

Chicago Restaurant Week will go on this year, albeit later than usual and with accommodations in place to address safety concerns amid the ongoing pandemic. Normally held in late January and early February, the 17-day showcase will run from March 19 through April 4 this year, Choose Chicago announced Wednesday.

“Accounting for the impact of COVID-19 on small businesses – and with support of the restaurant industry at heart – Choose Chicago has adjusted its program dates in 2021 and expanded its purview to accommodate both dine-in menus for restaurants with limited indoor and alfresco service as well as delivery and carry-out menus,” according to Choose Chicago, the city’s tourism and business travel marketing organization.

Choose Chicago said the reformatted program “increases opportunities for restaurants to participate regardless of the availability of dine-in operations. Prices have also been slightly adjusted to augment revenue generation for restaurants during these challenging times.”
