Each Tuesday from 8 p.m.-1 a.m. (with the exception of Cubs home night games), Harry Caray's Tavern is hosting Nintendo Wii Wars on its 123" HDTV. Each week, the venerable shrine to the Cubs will feature different games, prizes and celeb appearances. Participation is first come, first play.

Lettuce Entertain You concept Foodlife is undergoing a big renovation. Each of its 13 kiosks will be revamped. Among the changes, Chinese by Big Bowl is replacing Laser Noodles. Foodlife also is introducing new Sacred Grounds Bakery and Café on the mezzanine level of Water Tower Place. Changes are expected to be completed this fall. Foodlife, 835 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611, 312-335-3663.
After weeks of opening its resort hotel-inspired Tree Top Room, P.J. Clark's has closed it---and its Lincoln Park location---for renovations.

Armitage Ave., Chicago, IL 60614, no phone available.
In 2009, NoMI---along with the Park Hyatt Chicago---will undergo a renovation. So, too, will the menu. NoMI, Park Hyatt Chicago, 800 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611, 312-239-4030.
Rumors are swirling that Todd English and Gordon Ramsay are scouting out spaces for Chicago establishments. More to come.
Chicago has another feather in its cap: native Stephanie Izard---of now-shuttered, foodie fave, Scylla---won the fourth season of "Top Chef." She's currently shopping for a space to open a new restaurant.
