The new spring cocktails at Time Out Market Chicago you need to try this season

Time Out22-04-2025
The cherry blossoms are blooming, the temperatures are (graciously!) getting warmer and it's finally feeling like spring here in Chicago. What better way to toast the season than with a bright and fresh cocktail from the springy new drink menu at Time Out Market Chicago?
The Market bar has crafted a lineup of creative concoctions that are ideal for the pleasantly balmy temperatures. There's something for every type of spirit lover, whether agave-, whiskey- or vodka-based. Of course, there will be florals for spring: the Hibiscus Royale ($16) freshens up Patron Silver with St. German, hibiscus syrup, grapefruit and lemon, for example; while the Rose Gimlet ($14) starts with your choice of Bombay Sapphire Gin or house vodka and adds splashes of rose water bitters, Peychaud's bitters and lime juice.
For something fruitier, opt for the Citrus Got Real ($15), a vodka-based quaff with a bright pop of blood orange liqueur, grapefruit and lime. And, of course, warm-weather tippling simply isn't complete without a spritz. The Market will serve a classic Hugo Spritz ($15)—fresh and fizzy with St. Germain, prosecco and mint—for the season. You'll also find the Market's takes on crowd-pleasing cocktails like a whiskey mule, a sour and an espresso martini (the latter gets an extra jolt from house-made espresso mix and airy fee foam).
And with months of warm days ahead of us, our thoughts are also squarely on rooftop season

The Chinatown Night Market bows out with its last-ever fest this Friday

New York's beloved Chinatown Night Market is dimming its lanterns for good. This Friday, August 15, from 8pm to 11:30pm, Think!Chinatown will host the final edition of its summer celebration at Forsyth Plaza—one last hurrah of art, music and sizzling street eats under the Manhattan Bridge's iconic archway. Since 2021, the market has been a beacon (literally—they've had to bring their own lights) for community connection and pandemic recovery. What began as 'Chinatown Nights,' a small program of cultural performances and artisan vendors, blossomed into a full-fledged night market drawing more than 6,000 visitors per event. Food stalls, folk artists and local businesses turned the plaza into a bustling showcase for Chinatown's culinary and creative spirit. But after four seasons, the conditions on Forsyth Plaza have become too tough to work around. Broken lights, lack of bathrooms or running water and safety concerns have made it impossible to host large-scale gatherings. 'To light up the Night Market stage, we are literally strapping on our own lights to plaza lampposts that have not been working for years,' said Yin Kong, director of Think!Chinatown. The group has long advocated for infrastructure upgrades, but without them, the team is pivoting its energy toward other public art and cultural programming. Still, they're going out in style. Friday's send-off features performances by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist treya lam (at 8:40pm, 9:40pm and 10:40pm) and a soundtrack of Canto and Mandopop records spun by resident DJ YiuYiu. Vendors will sling everything from stinky tofu and Filipino skewers to paper-cut portraits and dragon-phoenix calligraphy. Regulars like Grand Tea & Imports, Yu and Me Books and Malaysia Beef Jerky will join cult favorites such as Xiang Mini Cake, Saucy Bao and Senbei NYC. The market's closure is the end of a chapter in Chinatown's revitalization story. Over the past four years, Think!Chinatown's work has helped spark a wave of Asian food festivals citywide and given countless AAPI-owned businesses a platform to grow. With local merchants now on steadier footing, the nonprofit is ready to focus on its core mission: intergenerational cultural projects and art activations that keep Chinatown's traditions thriving.

Chicago is officially one of the world's best cities for Gen Z

To the surprise of no one, Chicago has been named one of the world's best cities for Generation Z. In Time Out's global ranking by Gen Z and for Gen Z, Chicago comes in at number 17. But if we narrow the list to 'USA's Best Cities for Gen Z,' Chicago lands and number two, beat out only by New York. You may be (rightfully) wondering, how do we know Chicago is so great for Zoomers? Based on the same data as our Best Cities survey—but filtered to responses from those under 30—this ranking highlights the cities where the next generation truly thrives, specifically on metrics like happiness, food scene and overall vibe. Locals are well aware that our incredible city has no shortage of amazing things to do —from pop-up markets and music festivals to world-class museums and attractions —no matter the season. And, of course, we can't forget about Chicago's widely celebrated food scene. While everyone knows about the city's most iconic eats, like deep dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dogs and Italian beef sandos, the depth of Chicago's culinary offerings cannot be understated. Want to try some of those delicious stand-out bites in person? We've got it all—and more—at Time Out Market Chicago, where you can experience everything from trending pop-ups to the city's most famed dishes. Topping the 2025 global ranking is Bangkok, trailed by Melbourne, Cape Town and Copenhagen. In the worldwide ranking, Chicago is joined by just one other North American city: New York City (No. 4).
