Dine Out West Lakeview

July 8, 2020

  • Launching July 10!

    Developed in response to COVID-19, Dine Out West Lakeview reclaims side streets along the Southport Corridor and Lincoln Avenue to create an outdoor dining experience, similar to a food hall. The program will allow diners to enjoy food and alcoholic beverages from local restaurants in open air settings, while providing restaurants with much-needed space to expand their outdoor capacity. The seating areas will accommodate approximately 30 tables per location. Diners will be able to purchase meals for carryout from individual restaurants and take them to a nearby Dine Out location, where they can enjoy al fresco dining and drink service.

    Concept designed by the amazing team at PORT Urbanism.

    Open Locations

    The below Dine Out locations are now open to the public. More Dine Out locations may be announced in the coming weeks.

    • Cornelia & Southport (W. Cornelia Ave., East of Southport Ave. to the nearest alley)
      • Fridays: 5pm – 10pm
      • Saturdays: 9:30am – 10pm
      • Sundays: 9:30am – 10pm
    • Wellington & Lincoln (W. Wellington Ave., West of Lincoln Ave. to the nearest alley)
      • Saturdays: 9am – 8pm
      • Sundays: 9am – 8pm

  • How It Works

The second weekend of Dine Out on Broadway will be this Friday, June 19th from 12pm-10pm, and Saturday, June 20th, and Sunday, June 21st from 11am-10pm.

 

Join us at one of the first street closures open for outdoor dining as part of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s “Make Way for Dining” pilot program! 30+ restaurants and food establishments along Broadway from Belmont to Surf will participate. 

 

The restaurants’ sidewalk patios will be extended into the street, and there will be communal seating areas placed throughout Broadway for those who would like to order carry-out and enjoy it outside. Click here for the list of participating businesses. 

 

All social distancing, face covering, and other reopening guidelines will be followed and enforced. The 36 Bus on Broadway will be rerouted (check the CTA website for updates) and Barry, Oakdale, and Briar will become two way streets to accomodate local traffic.

March 26, 2020

 

Dear Business Owners and Operators,

There has been some additional information to share with you regarding stimulus and relief programs through our government entities:

FEDERAL RELIEF
The $2 Trillion stimulus package has a lot of information to digest and the full package has not been released or fully voted on just yet.  Once we have the final version, we will pass it on to you.  We do have some important information from this package that you can review regarding the 
Keeping American Workers Paid and Employed Act.  

The Stimulus package will provide direct payments by mailing out checks:

$1,200 for those under $75,000 annual salary
(phase out up to $99,000)
families $500 each child
$2400 for married couples
independent contractors under review in this package

Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity has outlined some new relief for Hospitality and Small businesses. Emergency Loan funds and hospitality grant opportunities should be a available on their website on Friday.

Families First Coronavirus Response Act: Employer Paid Leave Requirements

Employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19.[1] The Department of Labor’s (Department) Wage and Hour Division (WHD) administers and enforces the new law’s paid leave requirements. These provisions will apply from the effective date through December 31, 2020. VISIT THE US LABOR WEBSITE for more information.

Governor Pritzker stated in today’s conference Fannie Mae has agreed to work with their customers on term mortgages. Many banks will also talk to you about a 90 day hold on your mortgage to be paid on the back end of your term.

Some businesses are still filing for business interruption insurance in hopes insurance companies may have to pay out.  Insurance companies are currently denying these claims, however businesses are still making the claim.

The Chicago Police Department will begin ticketing any groups of people that are outside and not following the stay at home rules.  If you see something, please call 911.

Our security will continue to work overnight until further notice.

Please be safe and please visit our website for the latest updates.
