This first weekend in March is, of course, the weekend of the Academy Awards. We have a feeling our readers might be tempted to host a swanky Oscar party in their Chicago condos, but that’s not until Sunday night! So what other events, restaurant openings and exciting nightlife adventures should draw you out of those Chicago condos before the big movie event? Here are our suggestions this weekend.

Events
If you live in a Chicago condo, there’s a large chance that you are also a Chicago Cubs fan (Sox fans, just skip to the next event!). Just a week or two before Spring Training begins, start getting into the Cubs’ spirit with an event at Rockit Bar & Grill in Wrigleyville! Local sports expert David Kaplan of WGN 720-AM, ChicagoNow.com, and the Chicago Tribune hosts Cubs-Aholics Anonymous, where you can connect with other fans and sports media. It happens every Thursday, and it sounds like a great way to start the weekend early to us!

Obviously, it’s Super Bowl weekend! But what can you do outside of your luxury Chicago condo before the Saints take on the Colts? In addition to what we’re sure will be a fabulous Superbowl party hosted in your condo, here are the activities around Chicago that you should check out this weekend.

Events
If you aren’t into football, maybe art is more your thing! This Friday, for one night only, you can attend Now You See It, Now You Don’t at the Flat Iron Arts Building in Wicker Park, where 40 local artists will “unveil murals throughout the building’s hallways and then, at 10 p.m., destroy the work by painting over it.” Or for something more traditional, head to the MCA for the First Friday after-work mixer!

The weather is getting cooler, which means fall is on our heels. It doesn’t look like we’ll get out of the low 70s this weekend, but it’s supposed to be sunny, so break out your scarves and sunglasses and have a stroll along the lakefront.
