Drama-Ridden Cafe Sophie Exits Chicago's Gold Coast and Six More Closures
Briefly

Fulton Market: Well-known West Town sushi spot Arami, one of the original vendors at Time Out Market Chicago when the food hall debuted in 2019, has exited its stall at 916 W. Fulton Market after five years. The hall has seen significant turnover throughout its tenure and has already filled the vacancy with a new sushi restaurant, Madai.
Gold Coast: Cafe Sophie, a European-style all-day cafe from the company behind splashy steakhouse Maple & Ash, is permanently closed after a rocky ride that subsumed its opening in 2022, according to partner David Pisor. River North has changed since the pandemic, with folks worried about safety and a lack of foot traffic, Pisor says. He also points to challenges with the building and his growing frustration over spending more money on the space. In July 2022, Pisor's attorneys blamed design flaws in the building for the cafe's failures.
