EATER CHICAGO: 18 Great Please to Eat and Drink near Lollapalooza
If you’re one of the 200,000 people or so that are heading to Lollapalooza, Chicago’s largest annual music festival/mob scene in Grant Park this weekend, you’ll have plenty of standout food options at Chow Town inside the festival grounds. But before, during, and after the festival every day it can get dicey, especially when you’re among the hordes of people navigating the immediate Loop vicinity that are looking for somewhere to go upon leaving.
Luckily, there are dozens of restaurants and bars within a block or two to duck into, fuel up and take a load off. Here are 18 great options for food and drink outside Grant Park.

REDEYE CHICAGO: Dim sum at Yum Cha in the Loop
The Chinese phrase dim sum translates to “touch the heart” in English. It’s an apt descriptor for a cuisine that, when executed correctly, feels like a comforting family dinner party. But Chicago is not San Francisco, where there are so many good dumplings you almost expect the corner gas station to serve a mean barbecue bao. Many places in Chinatown and beyond serve stuff that’s been moldering away inside a bamboo basket for hours waiting for your order, or they dole out reheated pre-frozen dumplings with glutinous skins so thick you feel like you’re chewing on a tire with each bite.

And you don't have to head to Chicago's bustling Chinatown to get a taste of these breakfast and lunch items. A number of suburban restaurants now offer dim sum brunch on the weekend, which prompted me to get a better understanding of dim sum menus and dining practices.

CRAINS: Demystifying Dim Sum
Dim sum.
In the simplest terms, it's small, shareable Chinese plates.

"We made the decision to create a city-style restaurant in the suburban market," Lancero said. "There are guests all over suburbia who have great wine collections, whether it's high value or significant value."
