Bagels, Broadway & Al Fresco Bites: Tilly Bagel Shop Has Landed in Lake View — and Dine Out On Broadway Is Back for Year Six

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Lake View · July 16, 2026

Lake View's Broadway corridor is on a serious hot streak, and two fresh reasons to head that way just dropped this week. First, the neighborhood's bagel scene got a major upgrade when Tilly Bagel Shop opened its third Chicago location at 3162 N. Broadway on June 27. The beloved homegrown brand — which got its start as a pandemic-era pop-up before opening in the South Loop in 2023 and the West Loop in 2025 — has brought its cult-favorite lineup of inventive savory bagels to the North Side, including creative flavors inspired by Chicago street food, chili crisp, and tomato grilled cheese alongside classic sweet varieties. If the other locations are any indication, expect a line — and it'll be worth every minute.

And while you're on Broadway, you'll want to stick around: Dine Out On Broadway is back for its sixth season, courtesy of the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce. The beloved summer tradition — born in 2020 to support local businesses through the pandemic — closes Broadway to traffic between Belmont and Wellington, transforming the strip into one long open-air dining room filled with expanded restaurant patios, carafes of mimosas, and that unmistakable neighborhood block-party energy. A roster of participating restaurants lines the street, from Bombay Eats and Chilam Balam to local staples like Wilde Bar & Restaurant.

Whether you're grabbing a bagel at Tilly's or settling in for a leisurely al fresco lunch, Broadway is the place to be this summer. Get out there and soak it all in, Lake View!
