Last night I attended a private party held by Agency Galatea Model Agency. It was everything you would think it would be, lots of beautiful people dressed impeccably having a great time. It was held in The Library at Public Hotel Chicago (1301 North State Parkway), which is stunning in its own right but it […]

My introduction to Hash House A Go Go (1212 North State Pkwy) is pretty funny. My first time ever hearing about it was while I was watching one of the Travel Channel’s food specials. They featured a restaurant on the west coast that looked amazing, the portions were huge and the food looked great. The […]

Labor Day is just about here and for most people it equals a three-day weekend. It also means one of our city’s favorite traditions, the Chicago Jazz Festival, is about to start. And seeing that the JW Marriott Chicago (151 West Adams) is one of the city’s favorite luxury hotels, it’s only right they do […]

After over a month-long break, the ROOF Runway series at theWit Hotel (201 North State) is back and it’s a good one.

When it comes to Storefront Company (1941 West North Avenue), I’m sure most people are used to (at least on this site) hearing about the Discovery Dinner Series, but not this time. I have news that the restaurant has decided to change it up a little with a new prix fixe dining menu. They have […]

For anyone looking for something new and a little different for dinner at a familiar place, look no further than the delicious Mercat a la Planxa. To celebrate the Spanish tomato throwing tradition, La Tomatina, Mercat has created a tomato-centric three-course meal for patrons of the restaurant. The special menu will be available on Wednesday, […]

House Party! And you’re all invited! But not the type of house party you’re thinking, this is the 2nd Annual Habitat House Party to benefit the Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity (CHFH). Join the CHFH Youth Board this Saturday August 24 for a VIP reception at the newly renovated and re-opened Underground Chicago (56 West Illinois) […]

Be prepared for some serious star power at the kick off of this year’s annual Magnificent Mile Shopping Festival presented by Mastercard.

It’s all happening this Thursday, August 22 at #Shopfest: A Kick-Off to Fall Fashion.
