Hi friends,
After 10 incredible years in Wicker Park, we’re getting ready for our next chapter.
This neighborhood has meant everything to us. Urbanbelly was thoughtfully developed with Wicker Park in mind from the very beginning, and so many of you became part of that story early on. You were the first to experience the menu and help shape its evolution, alongside Chef Bill and our team.
We’re so grateful for every visit, every bowl, every conversation. We’ll be here on Damen through late April, cooking up all your favorites. We’d love to have you in before we make the move.
At the same time, we’re excited for what’s ahead.
We’ll be opening a new Urbanbelly in Fulton Market in early May, bringing back all of the dishes you love, along with a few new ones we’ve been working on. This next chapter is in partnership with Taratsa Hospitality Partners (), a collaboration that allows us to grow while staying true to what makes Urbanbelly special. Even better, many familiar faces from Wicker Park will be joining us there, so it will feel like home, just in a new neighborhood.
This isn’t goodbye, it’s a move forward. Same spirit, same food we love to cook, just new doors to walk through.
Hope to see you on Damen one more time before we turn the page.
With gratitude,
Chef Bill Kim + the Urbanbelly team
