Raise the Roof

Summer brings a plethora of unknowns.

Where to eat. Where to sun. Where to get crunk.

So you best know about Roof, opening tomorrow on the 27th floor of the new Wit hotel. The half-indoor, half-outdoor lounge is designed so that you can swill specialty cocktails and enjoy 365-degree views of the city (with telescopes!) until the weather turns chilly again.

Chef Todd Stein (David Burke Las Vegas, MK) woos with small-plate Italian nibbles (wood-roasted artichokes, grilled lamb burgers, sweet pepper and goat cheese crostini) and individual pizzas from the wood-burning oven (sweet fennel sausage, prosciutto and ricotta).

Food is served ’til 2 a.m. on weekends.

And that’s the roof, the whole roof, and nothing but the roof.


Roof, at The Wit, 201 North State Street, at Lake Street (312-239-9501 or roofonthewit.com).
