Thanksgiving is a time for families and friends to gather and count their blessings. Chicago restaurants are making it easy to do both this year! If you’re pressed for last-minute plans, with apologies to Ernest Hemingway, here are some of the restaurants making your Thanksgiving meal a memorable, moveable feast.

The Real Estate market certainly took a hit during the lockdowns and rise of the Covid-19 pandemic. Fortunately, this year it came back with a vengeance!

Do you have your battle plan set with your cooking schedule and grocery list? I hope so! Monday is the day for you to get everything set up. That means prepping your table and gathering every little thing you will need for the big dinner, down to the smallest detail possible!

Time to pull out those scarves and heavy sweaters as “the other shoe drops” this weekend in Chicago! Much colder temps are arriving after a string of mild weather kept us outdoors. But that’s okay because we’ll just take our fun indoors! Who’s with me?

“mfk. is an intimate, seaside focused eatery on the border of Lincoln Park and Lakeview East at 432 W. Diversey Parkway. We like little fishes, grilled crustaceans, crusty bread and cold rosé. We like rhum and agave spirits. We like seersucker suits, Iggy & The Stooges and dancing the night away. Come on by if you do, too. The kitchen is open throughout the day until 10 pm and until 11 pm on the weekend.”

Now that October and Halloween are behind us, it’s time to welcome November and the upcoming Thanksgiving Day holiday. Not to mention, we get an extra hour on Sunday as we turn back the clocks! So, let’s take some time this weekend to unwind a bit with some exciting events!
