People want to sit outside at restaurants. And thanks to the pandemic, tons of places have been able to set up tables on sidewalks and streets, so there are more places to eat outdoors than ever. But if you want to sit outside in some relative peace and quiet - without having pedestrians, dogs, couriers, and the ever-present fleet of Amazon Prime trucks going by - you still have options. After all, you just spent a year in relative solitude, and maybe the idea of hanging out on crowded patios chatting with people you haven’t seen since 2019 feels a little like social whiplash. Here’s a list of relatively secluded or out-of-the-way patios for you to eat and drink outside in Chicago.
