Chicago goes wild for rooftop season! How can you blame us after we endured months of chilly temps and gray days? Last summer, Raised, London House, Green River, Cindy's, and J Parker were some of the hot rooftop spots. Also, in this season, you can find several new sky-high spots that are bound to draw crowds on a warm, sunny day. Below are three rooftop spots opening in May that are sure to be popular places for cocktails al fresco.
