There are afternoons that shimmer just a little brighter, and this one, with my close friends Sharma and Brooke, was one of them.
In a world that often glorifies youth, it is time we shine a spotlight on the brilliant, bold, and battle-tested LGBTQ elders who are not only surviving — but thriving — and leading the charge in health advocacy. These trailblazers are rewriting the narrative around aging, HIV, and community care with wisdom, resilience, and a whole lot of style.
I’ll start with a confession: I’ve been a fan of Maggiano’s since its inception. I was one of the first journalists to review its original Chicago location in 1991. Even then, it was clear this place was something special, like returning to my grandmother’s kitchen for a homemade meal. That is, if my grandmother were Italian — and if she could cook.
Papa’s Raw Bar is the kind of place locals go to, so I held off on this review until after season. Keep this entre nous, because we wouldn’t want word to get out, it’s hard enough to get a table as it is.
