CHICAGO (WLS) -- Sunday was your last chance to eat at Ed Debevic's, one of Chicago's iconic restaurants.

The '50s-styled diner in River North closed its doors at 9 p.m. after 30 years there.

The building is being torn down to make way for a residential high rise.

Ed Debevic's owners said they are looking for a new location and they hope to re-open next year.
