The weekend is an offer you can't refuse.
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.
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.
Summer dilemma: Buy more summer gear or stock up for fall? At this sample sale, save the calculating for big discounts (50 percent and more) on graphic tees from Milwaukee's Heavy Rotation, eco-friendly clothing from Spanish up-and-comer Skunkfunk and more.
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.
You've pulled all-nighters before, but this time, do it outside the club. The 20th Annual 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.
