This weekend in Chicago July 31st- August 2nd, 2009:
Events
In its 52nd year, the Gold Coast Art Fair is this Saturday and Sunday. Come and support the work of over 300 artists, while enjoying good food and wine.
East Lakeview host a huge party this weekend for Market Days, featuring musical guest En Vogue. This two day event will have over 350 vendors with crafts, food, and drinks.
Looking for something a little more low-key? Get out of the city this weekend and head to Kenosha for the Bristol Renaissance Fair and explore what it was like to live in the days of Queen Elizabeth I.
Restaurants
Five Guys Restaurants are taking over the city with another new location in Lincoln Park at Clark and Fullerton.
The Wit Hotel has become extremely popular with its fabulous rooftop bar. However, if you can’t get into The Roof, definitely check their 2nd floor restaurant Cibo Matto and try their homemade pasta.
Movies
The Ugly Truth starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler is now playing at theatres around the city; this light-hearted, fun summer comedy is a great date night movie.
If you like something a little more intense, get close with your girl or guy while watching the thriller Orphan, also playing in theaters.
Have a great weekend everyone!
