Harper Court

Directions

Welcome to Harper Court in the heart of Chicago's Hyde Park - the place to be for dining, shopping, and concerts. The story of Hyde Park starts here.

Welcome to Harper Court. Developed in partnership with the University of Chicago and the City of Chicago, Harper Court is set to return to Hyde Park in 2013 and provide the community with the destination it needs and so richly deserves. To Hyde Park, Harper Court is more than just real estate. It’s a gathering place, a community anchor and a longtime beacon for the arts. It’s vibrant and alive – a neighborhood stronghold with something to say – namely, that it’s been waiting for this.

We were so sorry to hear of the October 22 passing of Sam Chatman, Chicago's "Godfather of Steppin’."

Sam brought his special DJ magic to the Harper Court Summer Music Series for concerts in 2019 and 2022.

WTTW reported, "'As an iconic DJ, Sam’s influence extended far beyond the turntables,' the statement said. 'His mastery of music selection, rhythm, and storytelling created the soundtrack for generations of steppers, social dancers, and music lovers.'

'Beyond his technical skill, DJ Sam Chatman’s greatest contribution was cultural stewardship,' the statement continued. 'He was a bridge between generations, a teacher without a classroom, and a consistent force for unity, elegance, and pride within the Black community.'"

Watch the whole segment about Mahari's all-day weekend brunch - better yet, head over to Mahari in Hyde Park at 1504 E. 55th Street in the Hyde Park Shopping Center Courtyard - serving brunch until 8 p.m. tonight!

And we love that Mahari gets the bread for their French toast from their neighbor in the Courtyard - La Boulangerie & Co.!
