Parson’s Chicken and Fish Pop-up

One of the biggest bummers about a cold Chicago winter is not being able to have a meal (and a couple of Negroni Slushies) on either of the Parson’s Chicken and Fish patios. To tide you over until the warmer months arrive, Chicago Athletic Association is hosting a three-week pop-up that replicates the experience of a summer afternoon spent eating fried chicken under a red and white-striped umbrella. The hotel's Tank will be transformed into an indoor version of a Parson's patio, complete with ping pong tables, strings of twinkling lights and menu of chicken sandwiches, hush puppies and fried fish. And yes, you'll also be able to order the aforementioned Negroni Slushie, as well as highballs, picklebacks and a housemade pickle soda. It's no replacement for real patio weather, but we'll take what we can get.
