If you spend any time thinking about restaurants, you might want to know when one closes. It doesn’t matter if that spot is shiny and new, a beloved institution, or something in the middle. At some point, it belonged to our city, and like Michael Jordan, we’re upset to see it disappear from the scene. Here are the notable Chicago restaurant closures from the past four months, and some potential alternatives. If you’re looking for brand-new spots, check out our Openings guide, and for the best of those new places, read our Hit List.

This Wicker Park spot for a Louisiana crawfish boil has closed. Along with a variety of seafood options, Angry Crab had grilled snacks and po'boy sandwiches.

If You Miss It: Try Lowcountry in South Loop

S.K.Y. , a Pilsen restaurant that was hard to categorize (in a good way), has closed. They're set to open a new spot in Lincoln Park this summer, but we will miss their foie gras bibimbap and dessert tasting menu in the meantime.

Holu, a steakhouse inspired by KBBQ, has closed. One of our favorite places to eat in Chinatown, we loved the quality aged meats and the "secret recipe" fruit sauce given to each guest.

With only eight seats, Milk Room in the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel was one of the city's most exclusive places to get a craft cocktail. We'll miss the service that tailored a drink to your preference.

Jaleo, a busy place for tapas and sangrias before going out, has closed its River North location (there are four others in the world). Along with the notable good food, it was a rare touristy spot that was also fun for locals.

If You Miss It: Try Mama Delia in Wicker Park

Sideshow Gelato was one of the rare places in Chicago (or maybe the only one) where you could get ice cream and a brief magic show. We loved how a unique scoop of bourbon or tobacco gelato would often come with a sleight-of-hand trick from one of the magicians on staff.
