CHICAGO — For a second year, short-term "pop-up" restaurants will make an appearance at the Taste of Chicago alongside the more traditional eateries, the city announced.

Some pop-up booths are around for a day, while others will be on site for two days during the grub festival  July 10 through July 14 in Grant Park.

The spots, which will accept the same food tickets as the five-day restaurants, were created last year to "showcase unique neighborhood restaurants and emerging culinary gems,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said.

Tickets for the Taste are 12 for $8 at the event and 12 tickets for $7 from July 1 through July 9 at Dominick's grocery store locations.

New pop-up restaurants this year are Hearty Restaurant, Punky’s Pizza & Pasta, Pecking Order, Taco Joint Urban Taqueria & Cantina, Terzo Piano and Kilwin’s Chocolates. The pop-ups will set up shop along Columbus Drive.
