50 Best Things to Do in Chicago (IL
"Based on Navy Pier, this adored non-profit theatre company has done as much as anyone to help keep Chicago on the cultural map over the last 30 years. In short order the theatre has earned three Laurence Olivier Awards, as well as a regional Tony in 2008. Its main aim is to introduce people to the works of William Shakespeare, through school tours, summer plays in parks and productions at its own majestic venue, adding up to 600 performances a year."

10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Chicago
"Chicagoans think Umai is so delicious, that within a few years, a second location opened. At both locations, the menu is large, from sushi and creative sushi rolls to beef tongue grilled over charcoal and of course, the foods of the hour, ramen and poke. If you are looking for something quick and filling, Katsu Kare, pork cutlets or shrimp tempura on Japanese curry over rice is a favorite Japanese college kids and businessmen."

Where to Eat in Chicago Right Now
"Exposed ceilings, painted black; fluorescent lighting; high-top stool seating: Sushi-san's design pledges itself to the cool kids. The restaurant boasts a direct partnership with a purveyor from Tokyo's most esteemed seafood market, and the raw fish here is among the city's freshest. For that reason, the kitchen largely keeps preparations simple, letting the ingredients in its reasonably priced hand rolls and maki speak for themselves."

Mentioned by Eater Chicago
The 10 Essential Japanese Restaurants in Chicago
"This River North restaurant is all about customary styles of Japanese comfort food, from robata-style dishes, to bold, clever riffs on familiar sushi offerings. Bamboo-skewered items are grilled over traditional Japanese binchotan charcoals from the seaside village of Wakayama, resulting in smoky, bite-sized takes on Chilean sea bass, American wagyu steak, and chicken wings. Sushi enthusiasts should go straight for rolls like the smoked eel (with avocado, cabbage, and karashi aioli) or the spicy tako (with Spanish octopus, spicy tuna, and jalapeno)."
