The weekend is an offer you can't refuse.
THURSDAY PRIVATE DINING
L2O Opens its Tatami Room
Escalating Lincoln Park luxe, L2O introduces Japanese-inspired tatami private dining. You'll trade
your shoes for slippers and be ushered to a screened sanctuary, where a kneeling, kimono-clad server will
treat you to a 14-course kaiseki-style meal. Yes, we said kneeling.

- 411: $225 per person, L2O, 2300 N. Lincoln Park West (at Belden), 773-868-0002
THURSDAY PONY SHOWING
The Pony Grand Opening
Lakeview watering hole The Pony makes its official bow with a party featuring specials and passed
appetizers. Its hickory-planked interior is a nice upgrade to the Belmont scene, but the
Clydesdale, a grilled cheese sandwich built for four, is the real must-see.

FRIDAY SALE-ING

SATURDAY TOSSING
Chicago Cornhole Classic
Tossing corn-filled bags into holes isn't Olympic-caliber yet, but we're thinking by, oh, 2016 it will be.
Until then, the 2nd Annual Soldier Field Cornhole Classic's $5,000 in prize money will have to do.

SATURDAY NIGHT RIDER
L.A.T.E. Ride

features 10,000 cyclists geared up for an all-night, 25-mile trek through the city. Online registration ends
today, but you can still register on site.
