Previews begin&nbsp;August 26, with a press opening on&nbsp;September 2, and running through&nbsp;October 18. Directed by Jeff Award winner&nbsp;Jessica Fisch&nbsp;(Marriott Theatre:&nbsp;Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Catch Me If You Can), choreographed by&nbsp;Katie Spelman&nbsp;(Broadway:&nbsp;The Notebook;&nbsp;Marriott Theatre: The Music Man), with music direction by Jeff Award winner&nbsp;Ryan T. Nelson. Come From Away&nbsp;tells the true story of the tiny town that took in 7,000 strangers, and the week that changed them all — a moving, funny, and deeply human reminder of how ordinary people can truly be extraordinary when they choose kindness in the face of crisis. 

When U.S. airspace was abruptly closed on September 11, 2001, thirty-eight planes were diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. What began as an unexpected disruption quickly became an extraordinary display of generosity as the residents of Gander welcomed stranded travelers from around the world with open hearts, open homes, and unwavering compassion. Based on actual events,&nbsp;Come From Away&nbsp;tells the inspiring story of a community that came together during a moment of global uncertainty, reminding us of the profound power of empathy, friendship, and hope. Filled with a soaring folk-inspired score and unforgettable characters, this celebrated musical is a moving testament to the best of humanity. 

Come From Away&nbsp;stars&nbsp;Justin Albinder&nbsp;as “Oz &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Sarah Bockel&nbsp;as “Bonnie &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Matt Crowle&nbsp;as “Nick &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Devin DeSantis&nbsp;as “Kevin T. &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Denise Devlin&nbsp;as “Beulah &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Alex Goodrich&nbsp;as “Claude &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Sharriese Hamilton&nbsp;as “Hannah &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Madison Kauffman&nbsp;as “Janice &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Heidi Kettenring&nbsp;as “Diane &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Michael Earvin Martin&nbsp;as “Bob &amp; Others,”&nbsp;Jonathan Shaboo&nbsp;as “Kevin J. &amp; Others,” and&nbsp;Lexie Dorsett Sharp&nbsp;as “Beverley &amp; Others,” with understudies Tafadzwa Diener, Jodi Gage, Darian Goulding, Mary Heyl, Makenzy Jenkins, and Tommy Thurston.

Cantina Taco Grill, 15 W. Jefferson Ave., Suite 101, Naperville 60540

Naperville is getting a taste of something new.&nbsp;Cantina Taco Grill, 15 W. Jefferson Ave., Suite 101, will soon bring a bold, modern take on Mexican cuisine from the family behind the beloved Taco Grill and Salsa Bar in Westmont, as they are proud to announce they will be opening for breakfast, lunch and dinner this Fall. The concept is led by local restaurateurs Jose Oliver, owner and executive chef, and his wife, Ivonne Oliver, who opened Taco Grill and Salsa Bar together in 2001, joined in the kitchen by Chef Francisco García. The new restaurant will focus on serving up elevated proteins leveraging unique flavors, creating a new experience for diners built on the traditions and techniques of Mexican cuisine they know and love. 
Chef Jose Oliver has decades of culinary experience, including cooking for restaurants, hotels and conference centers, and, most importantly, for his own family and friends. It has long been his passion to serve the finest and freshest food using the recipes he remembers from growing up in Mexico. That same philosophy will carry into Cantina Taco Grill, reimagined through a modern, upscale lens. 
Cantina Taco Grill's kitchen will also be led by Chef Francisco García, who brings years of international training and mentorship to the restaurant. Francisco began his culinary career as a pastry chef at Atelier Belge in Spain, building a foundation in technique and precision that has carried through his career. He has since worked alongside notable chefs across fine dining, contemporary Mexican cuisine and Japanese gastronomy, including Gerardo Corona Alarcón at El Viñedo, now Executive Chef with Habitas Hotels, and sushi chef Carmelo Ortiz, whose résumé spans Nobu Los Cabos and Nobu Bahamas. His pastry and baking training was further shaped by Alejandro Lechuga Acosta, a French pastry specialist and Cacao Barry brand ambassador. That range of experience informs Francisco's approach at Cantina Taco Grill, where he aims to create food that feels both sophisticated and approachable, rooted in tradition while looking toward what comes next. 
The menu will center on elevated proteins for its tacos, including bone marrow, picanha and New York strip, each prepared in a Josper oven, a Spanish charcoal oven that combines a grill and an oven to sear proteins at high heat, sealing in juiciness while giving each dish a distinctive smoky char. Breakfast offerings will include inventive dishes such as a poblano pepper omelet and a shrimp and mascarpone omelet, alongside a dinner menu drawing on traditional Mexican cooking reimagined through a modern lens. For dessert, guests will be able to order a flan flight featuring several traditional Mexican style flans. 
The bar program will highlight an extensive tequila and mezcal selection alongside made from scratch margaritas, including housemade syrups and unique flavor combinations. 
The restaurant's interior will bring a bright, modern feel, with seating for 70 to 85 guests in the dining room and up to 150 guests on the spacious outdoor patio. Cantina Taco Grill will be open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 
Cantina Taco Grill is located at 15 W. Jefferson Ave., Suite 101, in Naperville, and opens this Fall. The restaurant will be open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The 114-suite facility at 934 N. Church Rd. will bring flexible warehouse and office space, loading docks and an on-site operations team to the Chicago market. Designed for businesses that have outgrown working from a garage, spare bedroom, or fragmented collection of storage and office spaces but aren't ready to commit to a traditional warehouse, Saltbox will give growing businesses the ability to expand their operations. Its co-warehousing model combines private warehouse and office suites with the shared infrastructure businesses need to receive inventory, prepare orders, and ship products. 
Members receive month-to-month access to loading docks, mail and package receiving, daily carrier pickups, equipment, conference rooms, a content studio, high-speed Wi-Fi, printing, in-suite power, 24/7 security and reserved parking. Kitchen, workspace, and community areas give founders and their teams room to work beyond the warehouse floor. 
The on-site operations team is central to the Saltbox model. Team members receive inventory, bring it to members' suites, support carrier handoffs, and help solve day-to-day workflow challenges. Businesses can also access Saltbox Fulfillment and S.O.S. (Saltbox Operations Support) for additional hands-on help as their volume and operational needs change. 
The Saltbox team chose Elmhurst so that Chicagoland founders and their teams could run their operations closer to home, instead of the common scenario of needing to drive long distances to industrial corridors separated far apart from the rest of their day. The new facility will be situated just minutes from downtown Elmhurst, offering a walkable stretch of restaurants, coffee shops, and services nearby.&nbsp; 
The Elmhurst location places members near the transportation routes and commercial communities that power the Chicago region. The I-290 and I-294 interchange is approximately five minutes away, O'Hare International Airport is within a short drive and Elk Grove Village, one of the country's largest industrial parks, is seven miles from the facility, with downtown Elmhurst about two miles away, keeping restaurants, services and other amenities accessible to members and their teams. 
Suites range from 88 to 1,809 square feet: smaller suites accommodate approximately four pallets and one or two people, giving emerging businesses a practical next step after outgrowing the home, while larger suites can hold as many as 125 pallets and provide room for a full team managing fulfillment under one roof. The building also incorporates details from Elmhurst's history, with conference rooms named Salt Creek, after the waterway where the area's earliest settlers made their homes, and Cottage Hill, the community's original name from 1845 to 1869. 
Saltbox Elmhurst is designed for ecommerce and direct-to-consumer brands, consumer packaged goods companies, wholesalers, and businesses handling light assembly or kitting, along with project pros, designers and industrial operators who need functional space, dock access and operational support without building those capabilities themselves. It's not intended for businesses that only need inexpensive storage, a self-storage unit may be a better fit there, but for teams actively shipping, receiving and managing physical operations, Saltbox offers more control, visibility and flexibility than a fully outsourced model can provide. 
To celebrate the company’s commitment to supporting small businesses, Saltbox is proud to launch the Made in Chicago Grant, awarding one qualified Chicago-area product or ecommerce business a $5,000 credit toward membership at Saltbox Elmhurst in honor of their opening. The grant is open to eligible businesses throughout Chicagoland and the western suburbs, including Elmhurst, DuPage County, Elk Grove Village and Oak Brook. One winner will be selected at random from qualified entrants and announced at the grand opening ceremony in the fall. The credit applies to Saltbox membership fees and does not cover additional services, and no purchase is necessary to enter. Businesses can enter and review the complete eligibility requirements at saltbox.com/made-in-chicago-grant. 
Businesses interested in becoming among the first Saltbox Elmhurst members can also join the Chicago waitlist at saltbox.com/location/chicago-elmhurst. Waitlist members will receive early access to tour availability and membership information.

Osteria Gilberto

Osteria Gilberto, 1224 W. Webster Ave., is bringing an elegant, refined take on Italian dining to Lincoln Park. Now open, the intimate 56-seat venue was designed for lingering over a long, delicious meal with loved ones, featuring warm wood, rich fabrics and a striking backlit wine wall. Owned by partners and friends Sergio Barbone, Agustin Di Rienzo and Katherine Serrano, Osteria Gilberto will be a warm, intimate destination for neighbors and friends to come together to unwind, connect and celebrate life's everyday moments. 
With a vision to build a dining experience centered around Italian tradition elevated with modern touches, the ownership team tapped Chef Sergio Ornelas to lead the kitchen as Executive Chef. A native of Chicago’s culinary landscape, Chef Ornelas has honed his craft in some of the city’s most prestigious kitchens including the likes of Michelin-starred Mexique, and other beloved spots such as Tanta and Tzuco, bringing the experience of working alongside acclaimed chefs Carlos Gaytán and Jesús Delgado, to shape every plate at Osteria Gilberto. 
For the dining room’s design, the team looked to Chicago-based, award-winning studio Crespo &amp; Br. to bring their vision to life through inventive architecture to develop an irresistible and inviting atmosphere. The team elegantly translated the warmth of a traditional Italian osteria through a modern lens, drawing inspiration from the earthy character of Rome, Tuscany and Liguria in subtle ways to seamlessly bring the beauty and culture of Italy to the Osteria Gilberto table. A structured geometric language moves across the ceiling, furniture and architectural details, lending the dining room a quiet rhythm, while warm timber, tactile surfaces and richly upholstered seating soften its more structured elements. Diffused lighting, pendant fixtures and touches of burnished bronze complete the restaurant's intimate, evening-ready glow. 
The menu centers on house-made pasta, prepared fresh daily, alongside refined antipasti and secondi rooted in classical Italian technique. Standouts include Wagyu-forward dishes like the Polpette and Steak Tartare, caviar service and pasta highlights such as the Agnolotti al Limone and the 16-layer Lasagna di Gilberto. Diners will also find heartier secondi like the six-hour braised Short Rib Brasato and Branzino Piccata a must-try. Osteria Gilberto also pours a bar program built around handcrafted cocktails and a curated, fully Italian wine list. 
The restaurant takes its name from founder and owner Sergio Barbone's father, Gilberto Barbone, born and raised in Livorno, Italy, before a move to Venezuela, where he met and married Marina Bastidas and raised two sons, Ugo and Sergio. An engineer with a doctorate in robotics, Gilberto still made Italian tradition a nightly ritual at home, a gathering he called “tavola”: everyone at the table, eating, laughing and talking for hours. He played piano, danced and dressed impeccably, always in a suit and tie, and never wavered from his love of Barolo and pasta cacio e pepe. His presence carries throughout the restaurant that bears his name: the logo forms the letter G from a musical whole note, a nod to his piano playing, wood details throughout the space reflect his love of craftsmanship, the wine program is entirely Italian, and the hand-made ravioli on the menu is a direct tribute to a dish Gilberto and his brother once made together by hand. 
Osteria Gilberto is located at 1224 W. Webster Ave. in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 4 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday from noon to 11 p.m and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m. Reservations are available via OpenTable.

Nisi Greek Grill

Forte Hospitality, the Chicago restaurant group behind Sapori Trattoria and Butcher &amp; The Bear, welcomed Nisi Greek Grill to Rosemont’s Parkway Bank Park Entertainment District on October 9th. A modern expression of the Greek islands, Nisi Greek Grill draws inspiration from the beauty of the Aegean and the warmth of Greek hospitality, bringing together the flavors of land and sea with elevated Greek cuisine, fresh seafood, premium steaks and seasonal ingredients. Located at 5509 Park Place in the former Saltwater Coastal Grill space, Nisi Greek Grill offers a contemporary take on Greek dining rooted in the traditions, flavors and hospitality of the Greek islands. The restaurant joins Rosemont’s growing dining scene in the heart of its Entertainment District.&nbsp; 
At the culinary helm is Executive Chef Saul Ramos, who also serves as Culinary Director for Forte Hospitality’s Sapori Trattoria and Butcher &amp; The Bear. Ramos brings a modern approach to Greek cuisine at Nisi, combining traditional flavors with seasonal ingredients and contemporary techniques. Menu highlights include tableside flaming Saganaki and Youvetsi Mac &amp; Cheese with braised lamb shoulder and Kefalograviera cheese sauce as starters. The menu’s main courses include a Wagyu &amp; Lamb Tasting Board which features three cuts of Wagyu and a lamb cut, while the Beef Cheek Pasta pairs pappardelle with Mizithra cheese and the Avgolemono Risotto is served with a grilled harissa prawn.&nbsp; 
Nisi Greek Grill’s design combines Greek-inspired details with the rich, polished feel of a modern steakhouse. A navy, cream and warm wood palette will be accented with gold finishes, while Greek stone behind the bar, laurel wreath details and a wings-inspired photo wall will add Greek elements throughout the space. Nisi partner John Lawson, who brings more than 25 years of experience in construction and design, helped bring the restaurant’s warm, welcoming and refined atmosphere to life, drawing on his experience building neighborhood restaurants and homes across Chicago. The new location features a 150-seat dining room, along with an 80-seat patio for warmer-weather dining. A semi-private dining room accommodating up to 60 guests is also available for corporate dinners, birthday celebrations and other special occasions.&nbsp; 
A dedicated back entrance will also provide access to a café-style takeaway area featuring coffee, Greek frozen yogurt, Greek-inspired desserts and other quick options for guests looking to enjoy Nisi on the go as they explore the Entertainment District. Once open, Nisi will also host live music and Greek island-inspired celebrations.&nbsp; 
Nisi Greek Grill is open daily for dinner from 4-9pm on weeknights, and 4-10pm on weekends.

Mellody Farm

<a href="https://www.postino.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Postino</a>, the all-day restaurant and wine bar known for its cult-like following, welcoming hospitality, and inspired spaces, is continuing its expansion across the US by debuting its first Midwest location in the Vernon Hills neighborhood. Set to open in fall 2026, Postino Vernon Hills will be located at Mellody Farm, 887 N Milwaukee Ave., Unit 400. The new restaurant will offer Postino’s signature approachable, social experience, creating a place for everything from happy hour with colleagues and post-workout lunches to Friday night date nights, with plenty of opportunities to gather, connect and linger along the way. 
Located within Mellody Farm, an open-air, urban-inspired destination bringing together dining, retail and community in the heart of Lake County, Postino Vernon Hills will become part of a vibrant gathering place for residents and visitors from Vernon Hills and the surrounding northern suburbs. 
The new location will feature a 3,708-square-foot interior and a 900-square-foot patio, offering ample space for guests to gather, unwind, and connect. Designed with Postino’s signature “come-as-you-are” spirit, the restaurant will include a seasonal enclosed patio, custom millwork crafted in-house, a signature art wall crafted from vintage printing blocks, historical neighborhood photography, and stained-glass window panels in front of the building as guests are welcomed in.

At its core, Postino is driven by a simple but powerful mission: to “Make People Feel Good.” 
Postino Vernon Hills will offer a crave-worthy menu of bruschetta, paninis, salads, charcuterie boards and shareable plates, paired with an ever-evolving beverage program featuring more than 20 artisanal wines by the glass, local craft brews from Illinois Right Bee Dry Cider, Italian-inspired spritzers, seasonal cocktails and zero-proof sips.

Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook Chicago

Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook, 2815 Jorie Blvd., is proud to announce they will host The Lodge Royale: A Casino Night on Friday, November 6, 2026, beginning at 6 p.m., bringing guests together for an inaugural evening inspired by the glamour of Monte Carlo, all to benefit Give Kids The World Village, a nonprofit resort that provides children with critical illnesses and their families with weeklong, cost-free wish vacations. 
Tickets are $50 per person and include chef-inspired hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine, a signature cocktail, casino-style gaming and live entertainment, along with complimentary valet parking. Guests can also take part in auction opportunities throughout the evening to further support the cause. 
For more than 40 years, Give Kids The World Village has provided cost-free wish vacations to children with critical illnesses and their families. The impact reaches close to home: nearly 9,000 Illinois wish children and their families have experienced the Village firsthand. Founded in 1986 by Holocaust survivor Henri Landwirth, the 89-acre nonprofit resort in Kissimmee, Florida, has hosted more than 200,000 families from all 50 states and 77 countries, and has held a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, placing it among the top 1% of U.S. charities, for 15 consecutive years. Funds raised at the event will go directly toward moments like these: $20 can deliver a welcome home package for an arriving wish family, $50 provides unlimited ice cream for seven families or unlimited pizza for one, $100 helps maintain the Village's fully accessible rides and attractions, and $500 covers travel and transportation services for multiple families making their way to the Village. 
Guests attending the event will also get an early look at Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook's newly completed renovation of its 218 guest rooms and corridors. Rooted in the property's original Prairie-style architecture, the redesign preserved the hotel's original hardwood floors while introducing new finishes, layered textures and residential-inspired furnishings, along with mural accents depicting abstract treescapes and a soft green palette drawn from the surrounding forest preserve. Known for spacious accommodations and ample amenities, the 88-acre lakeside property also offers an expansive fitness and spa facility with an indoor pool, on-site dining including Hearth Lounge and Water's Edge, and more than 30,000 square feet of flexible event space. With its updated design and immersive natural setting, Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook reinforces its role as a year-round retreat for guests seeking comfort, connection and tranquility in the Chicagoland area.

As one of Chicago’s most beloved annual holiday shopping events, the Holiday Show has welcomed an estimated 1 million attendees and represented more than 5,000 unique small businesses, creating a longstanding platform for independent artists, designers and makers to connect directly with shoppers. The four-day event will also feature Paint &amp; Sip sessions, fine art gallery talks, hands-on craft activities, artist demonstrations, the Gourmet Market, Emerging Market, Fashion District, cafés, bars and more. The milestone year also celebrates the show’s 25-year partnership with Ann &amp; Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, with a portion of ticket proceeds once again benefiting the hospital. 
Now in its 25th year, the One of a Kind Holiday Show has become Chicago’s premier holiday shopping destination for unique, handmade gifts and one-of-a-kind finds. The four-day event will bring together more than 600 jury-selected artists, designers and makers from across the country, giving thousands of shoppers the opportunity to meet the creators behind the work and shop directly from independent small businesses under one roof. The Holiday Show draws an average of approximately 45,000 guests and 600+ exhibitors annually, with about 60 percent of exhibitors returning year after year, underscoring the community that has grown around the event. 
The milestone anniversary will also celebrate the longtime artists, designers and makers who have helped make the One of a Kind Show a Chicago holiday tradition, including a select group of exhibitors who have participated for 20 years or more.&nbsp; 
Guests can discover thousands of handmade products across more than 20 categories, including accessories, bath and body, ceramics, fashion, fiber art, furniture, glass, gourmet food, home goods, holiday décor, jewelry, kids, leather, metal, mixed media, painting, paper, pet products, photography, repurposed and upcycled goods, sculpture and wood.&nbsp; 
In celebration of its milestone anniversary, the 2026 show will offer even more opportunities for guests to engage directly with art and the creative process. 
New this year, guests can participate in Paint &amp; Sip sessions led by NEW Gallery, offering an interactive opportunity to create their own artwork while enjoying the festive atmosphere of the show. 
The show will also continue its partnership with Art Encounter, whose experts will lead Fine Art Gallery Talks within the show’s dedicated fine art gallery, providing insight into featured works, artistic techniques and the stories behind the pieces on display. 
Additional experiences throughout the weekend will include hands-on craft activities with Marwen, live artist demonstrations, and opportunities to experience creators at work and learn more about their processes firsthand. 
Returning show favorites will include the Gourmet Market, showcasing specialty food and culinary products; the Emerging Market, spotlighting rising artists and makers; and the Fashion District, featuring distinctive apparel and accessories from independent designers. 
Guests can also enjoy cafés and bars located throughout the show floor, provided by Foodstuffs, making it easy to spend the day shopping, exploring and celebrating the holiday season.
