A TOTAL OF 19 NEW shopping and dining options are now available to visitors at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, including the latest restaurant opening in the middle of Concourse B. The opening of a local favorite, Hubbard Inn, on June 15 marked a milestone of successfully repurposing concourse space to enhance the food offerings at the airport. The full concession redevelopment will offer more than 70 new concession options at the airport by the end of 2020.

The upgrade is part of the Chicago Department of Aviation’s partnership with Midway Partnership LLC to enhance and expand the concession program. The concessions redevelopment is one of three marquee projects part of the Midway Modernization Program, a nearly $400 million investment that also includes the passenger security checkpoint expansion and terminal parking garage improvements.

MMP is the largest redevelopment program at the airport in nearly 20 years and is expected to create more than 2,000 construction and permanent concession jobs.

Hotel Van Zandt Review

One step onto Austin’s Rainey Street and you’ll feel like you’ve joined the cool kids at the best playground in the city. Just behind the cottage bars, pint-sized skyscrapers soar. One of them, Hotel Van Zandt, the Rainey district's pièce de resistance, beckons with a song-like spirit —apropos because the independently owned property, rife with music motifs, was named after beloved singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Sixteen stories high, the hotel embodies Austin’s lust for music, manifesting with a vinyl corner; trumpet chandeliers; myriad musical references; replica vintage posters in frames; and its own live music venue, which doubles as its acclaimed restaurant, Geraldine’s. Don’t miss the mesmerizing installation of colorful origami-like birds composed from vinyl records that flitter from an old phonograph.
