Where to Eat, Drink Outdoors in Lake View (MAP)

From little sidewalk cafes to big outdoor patios, Patch compiled a list of almost everywhere in Lake View people can eat or drink outdoors. Making lunch or dinner plans on a sunny day? Check the map.

Whether it's a sidewalk cafe, porch or massive outdoor patio, dining outside on a sunny day just screams "Summer's finally here!"

Patch pulled a list of Lake View businesses that have recently applied for either a sidewalk cafe permit or an outdoor patio permit and mapped the results. The resulting map should have nearly every spot to eat outside in town.

“The opening of our outdoor dining spaces is always exciting because it really makes our neighborhood come alive,” said Executive Director of the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce Maureen Martino. “The al fresco season showcases Lakeview East as one of Chicago’s top neighborhoods for fabulous dining experiences.”

Because there are so many on popular streets like North Broadway, use the interactive features like zooming in to see more details.
