I just got off the phone with Chicago Trader Vic's. The gentleman who answered told me they will likely be ready for opening this Saturday or Sunday (although they are not really taking reservations because construction is expected to last until the minute they open). He said they might start taking reservations as early as next week, and that they should be on opentable in January. Knock on bamboo, but it seems like this might really be happening! As a guy who went to the "Passing the Tiki Torch" event two years ago when the Palmer House TV closed, I am one super-psyched Mai Tai-craving S.O.B. Also, can't wait to try the "Chicago Trader," which I think is the new drink for the new location.
