And now, for a little bit of normal: dining out for Valentine’s Day. The City of Chicago could be allowing restaurants to increase their seating capacity in time for the holiday.
The city is currently in Phase 4 of reopening but Mayor Lightfoot and the Chicago Department of Health have yet to allow restaurants to permit 25% capacity or 25 persons per room. By Valentine’s Day it will have been 2 weeks since restaurants have began allowing indoor dining again. So, the city is allowed to increase to that 25%/25 people allowance… for the holiday, will they?
