Taste of Chicago Survival Tips

Taste of Chicago Tips

• Here are some suggestions for surviving and, even, ENJOYING Chicago's biggest block party: Taste of Chicago:


• June 17th - 24th, 201o, you can purchase Taste of Chicago food tickets at Dominick's. A limit of 4 strips, per family, can be purchased at $6.00 for strips of 12 (a discount) A Fresh Values Card is required.
  
• Things to Bring: Sunscreen, hand santizer, napkins and plastic forks & spoons (restaurant vendors don't always supply utensils, and there will be times when you will find that using them will make eating a whole lot easier).


• Weekdays and 11:00 A.M. are less crowded. Opening day of the Taste is one of the busiest.


• Do NOT go to the festival at NIGHT. Criminal behaviour tends to escalate, both in and around the event.


• Bring a roll of toilet paper. This may sound strange but, those porta - potties are a little iffy in the T.P. department!


• Request the "taste portions" whenever possible. They are less expensive.

• ABOVE ALL, HAVE FUN!

Mugging on Catalpa

Mugging on Catalpa

This took place in my former neighbourhood. Be careful out there! And not only when the sun goes down. This crime was committed in broad daylight.

A Hot Dog Program

'Grand Re-Opening of HOT ROD GRILL'

'Grand Re-Opening of HOT ROD GRILL'

Even though I prefer the Wiener Circle, in Lincoln Park, and Patio Beef, in Edgewater, Hot Rod Grill serves up some of the best hot dogs in the West Rogers Park neighbourhood. The extra seating should be a welcome addition. (Their burgers are pretty good, too!)
