Holiday Lights, City Lights Tour
Explore downtown Chicago’s holiday lights at night on Michigan Ave aboard a heated trolley. The tour includes two stops with views of the city (and the lights, naturally) where guests can hear the stories of the architects, developers and leaders who played key roles in shaping Chicago.
Date: Starts December 19th 2014

Nightwood
To take a date to Nightwood is to say, “I cried at the end of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, but I’ve also slugged a guy in a mall parking lot for stealing my space.” The dining room is more intimate than casual, but it’s not so flagrantly romantic that you come across like a hopeless thirst bucket. Nightwood will represent you as the refined adult that you’re probably not, which is precisely what you’re looking for in a first date spot.
Date: All Weekend

Alhambra Palace
A little cheesy with below-average food, but what makes this place a perfect date spot are the belly dancers.
Date: All Weekend
