In the course of the height of the pandemic, there have been many restaurants that got creative with how they served the shopper, mainly by providing carryout or offering their menu on GrubHub and UberEats.
One other trendy concept through the pandemic was restaurants offering their dining experiences inside a plastic igloo, and now that is became a preferred dining activity through the cold midwestern months.
In line with their website, Kennedy Rooftop is on top of the Hyatt Place Hotel at Wicker Park in Chicago and offers “an Urban Chic Rooftop to rejoice the people and the town” and has high-end cocktails and gourmet eats and desserts.
With seating for as much as six people, there are 4 different dining options listed on the Kenndy Rooftop reservation website for the igloo experience and the costliest is the Bottle Service Igloo Experience for $349 for 1 hour and 45 minutes and includes Champagne, Vodka, Gin, Tequila, and more.
For wine lovers, the Winter Wineland experience offers three bottles of wine, shareable food, and a dessert. The Skyline package features a 52-ounce fishbowl cocktail package together with shareable food and dessert.
Panoramic views of the Chicago skyline will be enjoyed from contained in the heated igloos, but reservations are required for this dining experience at Kennedy Rooftop above Wicker Park on the Hyatt Place, with a $75 deposit required to order an igloo.
In Rockford, the Alchemy at Aldeen also offered igloo dining last 12 months and shared a video showing the magical lights and igloos through the first snowfall of last season.
We reached out to Alchemy at Aldeen to see if they’ll have igloo dining again this 12 months but have not heard back yet. We’ll keep you posted.
