When it comes to authentic, chewy, East Coast-style boiled bagels, options in the Chicago area are slim. North suburbanites have Kaufman’s and New York Bagel & Bialy.
But everyone else has been out of luck, having to put up with bagels that are more like round bread. That’s about the change now that a home baker in Oak Park plans to open the Daly Bagel cafe.

It's a "coming", seems perfectly appropriate for a topic titled "Openings, Closings, Comings & Goings".

Vajra, a contemporary Nepalese and Indian restaurant in West Town, will debut on Thursday and reservations are online...
Co-owner Dipesh Kakshapaty is Nepalese and helped open Cumin, a well-regarded Nepalese restaurant in Wicker Park. While the restaurants are nearby and will serve similar items, such as momos — the popular Nepalese dumplings — Vajra’s approach is different. While a menu wasn’t available immediately, Kakshapaty teased unique items such as goat steak. He’ll also use suppliers used at many successful Chicago restaurants such as meat from Slagel Family Farm and Rare Tea Cellar.

I called Jilly's Cafe and was told that they sold the restaurant.

Owner Aaron Steingold posted in a neighborhood Facebook group that “we are simply unable to deliver the consistency and quality that we strive for, that you deserve, and that we produce on a daily basis at our flagship location” and that he “will work on finding a space closer to the Manor with an actual commercial kitchen.”
