PRE MY VALENTINE
Date Night at Blue 13
You've long believed in a rigorous auditioning process for Valentine's candidates, and now Blue 13 has
designated Wednesday as the night to really get to know someone. Start with complimentary champagne before
the three-course menu with options like braised pork cheeks, rabbit strudel and warm chocolate cake. And try
to keep all casting couch jokes to yourself.
- 411:
- $80 per couple, Wednesdays through March (excluding Feb 24), Blue 13, 416 W Ontario St, 312-787-1400
COME TOGETHER
Unite 4 Haiti Fund-Raiser
Consider it the Chicago nightlife version of "We Are the World"—a mega, multi-sponsor benefit for
Doctors Without Borders, dishing out free apps and with local celebrities like NBC 5's weather woman Ginger
Zee shaking up your martini at the open bar. We feel a warm front coming in.

- Feb 4, 6-10pm, $20 donation, LaSalle Power Co, 500 N LaSalle Blvd, 312-661-1122
PASSING GAME
Family-Style Menu at Old Town Social
OTS doesn't leap to mind when you're thinking sports, but after those flat-screens magically slide down from
the ceiling, you remember—this place is more than just bratwurst, pork rinds and beer-cheese soup.
It's also a place that throws in a beer keg as part of its family-style Super Bowl prix fixe menu.
- 411:
- Feb 7, 11am, prix fixe $50 per person for tables of six or more, Old Town Social, 455 W North Ave, 312-266-2277
SOUPER BOWLS
Buckets of Lobster Bisque from Shaw's
Hosting a Super Bowl party is admirable enough, so bring in a ringer to help with the actual food part.
Venerable seafood shanty Shaw's offers sushi and shellfish platters, plus you'll find Lobster
Bisque, New England Clam Chowder and Seafood Gumbo sold by the gallon. Ladle
included.
- 411:
- Feb 7, order at least 24 hours in advance, Shaw's Crab House, 21 E Hubbard St, 312-527-2722
GO LONG
$5 Walk of Shame Burgers
This Super Bowl blowout at the Viagra Triangle party pad offers $5 Bloody Marys and $5 Walk of Shame
Burgers (topped with an egg, bacon and cheddar, on a pretzel roll). But remember, whether you're a
Colts or a Saints fan, there's no shame in losing. Take it from Bears fans.

- Feb 7, 11am-4am, no cover, The Hunt Club, 1100 N State St, 312-988-7887
