Chicago: BLVD

The vibe at this West Loop eatery will be 1950s Hollywood luxe, with Art Deco design elements and other glinted, retro details filling up the 10,000-square-foot space. The kitchen will be led by chef Ross Mendoza (Pump Room) and will feature American-inspired shared plates that are at once modern and nostalgic, like his take on “minute steak” and potatoes with chimichurri and charred scallions. Expect a mid-June opening. 817 W. Lake Street; blvdchicago.com

Carol Sachs

London: Radio Alice Pizza

Brothers and pizzaiolos Matteo and Salvatore Aloe will open an outpost of their beloved pizza shop in the trendy Clapham neighborhood in mid-June.

New York City: Air’s Champagne Parlor

In late June, sommelier Ariel Arce (Riddling Widow, Birds & Bubbles) is opening a champagne-focused spot.

Offering bubbly by the glass and bottle, and featuring both accessible and rare champagne selections and a menu of oysters mignonette, caviar with potato chips, and goat cheese and honey gougères, the bar will have a fabulous dinner party vibe. 127 MacDougal Street; airschampagneparlor.com
