Windy City Wednesday: What's Shakin' in Chicago Today, Thurs... Wait, It's Thursday?
Hey there, citizens of the world, and welcome to another thrilling edition of "What's Happening in Chicago Today?" Except, darn it, it's already Thursday! Must've been all those deep dish pizzas weighing down my sense of time. But fear not, for even though I'm a day late and a dollar short (because, let's be honest, Chicago deep dish ain't cheap), I've got the scoop on what's going down in this fair city.
The Lowdown on Thursday, July 25th
Foodie Fun: Is your stomach rumbling like a Cubs fan after a bad call? Head down to the 10th annual Le Dîner en Blanc (translation: "Dinner in White"), where fancy folks gather in a secret location, all decked out in head-to-toe white, for an elegant picnic under the stars. Think "Game of Thrones" White Walkers meets "Bridgerton" high tea – minus the dragons and potential scandal (hopefully). Just remember to pack your own picnic basket, table, and chairs – unless you're feeling fancy enough to hire a Sherpa.
Culture vultures, Assemble! Here's a dose of something a little less, well, white: there are tons of art exhibits, concerts, and theater productions happening all over the city. From magic shows at the Chicago Magic Lounge (because everyone needs a little mind-bending in their Thursday) to Scary Lady Sarah at Do312 (whatever that means, it sounds intriguing), there's something for every artistic taste.
Calling all K-Pop enthusiasts! Set sail on the Neon Presents: The Fireworks K-POP Boat Party (because apparently fireworks and K-Pop go together like peanut butter and jelly... or maybe not, but hey, it's Chicago!). Just be sure to pack your dancing shoes (and maybe some seasickness medicine, just in case).
