Spring has sprung, and with it, new opportunities for fun in Chicago. Don’t miss any of Chicago’s awesome opportunities to come out and enjoy all that our unique communities offer this week!

It’s the ‘Christmas in July' of restaurant celebrations….after pandemic-muted Restaurant Weeks the past two years, Chicago Restaurant Week begins a 17-day odyssey of epicurean delights this Friday, March 25. The ‘week' runs through April 10.

Spring is almost here in Chicagoland. Of course, that means temperatures one day can be a balmy 65-70 and the next it is 35 with driving rain. But, planting time is just around the corner, so it's time to plan the flower and vegetable gardens!

Most homeowners dread spring cleaning, but it's a necessity when you think about how many things typically get overlooked as part of everyday cleaning. You might vacuum, wash dishes, and do laundry regularly, but there are plenty of other chores that get overlooked.

Even though St. Patrick’s Day is behind us, this weekend still offers Chicagoans a chance to “Go Green” especially if you missed out on last weekend’s live St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Plus, there’s an added bonus! Spring officially arrives this Sunday and will begin to turn nature green!

After two years of canceled events, St. Patrick’s Day is officially back in Chicago with some of the city’s most beloved, but not forgotten, St. Paddy’s traditions! It’s time to Go Green Chicago!

There’s an old saying here…”Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick’s Day!”🍀 After two years of Covid-19 isolation, Chicago's most treasured celebration—St. Patrick’s Day—roars back with celebrations around the city and suburbs throughout the week and weekend.

After two years away, Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day Weekend celebrations are back in full swing! What better way to celebrate than with a full Irish breakfast, fish ‘n chips, or corned beef and cabbage at one of the many Irish restaurants around town?

Most of the snow has melted around the Chicago area. All the signs are pointing towards an early spring! Of course, we are not so naïve to think there will not be another snow event or two, but they will be small and will melt quickly. I look forward to one of my favorite vegetables to appear.
