Birdcage opening in Grant Park

Leslie Cohen, the owner of Firepit Pizza Tavern in Grant Park, is set to open Birdcage, a Latin-inspired restaurant, later this year.

The restaurant, called Birdcage, will be located in a 3,000-square-foot standalone building adjacent to Firepit in the Larkin on Memorial development at 519 Memorial Drive SE. Cohen will work with Firepit executive chef Shaun Whitmer on developing Birdcage’s menu.

The space “will be filled with vibrant colors and flamboyant vibes,” according to a press release.
