WRIGLEYVILLE — Cubs manager Joe Maddon will open his upcoming Wrigleyville restaurant, Maddon’s Post, next week.

Maddon’s Post, opening Tuesday at 1119 W. Waveland Ave., will combine classic Polish foods with Italian fare. The food will serve as a double tribute to Maddon’s Polish roots and to the Italian background of chef and partner Tony Mantuano of Spiaggia.
