Springtime in Chicago...and the Living's Easy

We’re almost there! The weather this week has been a balmy 30-40 degrees, people are smiling more and runners with no feeling in their legs are donning shorts. As Chicago rounds the corner from blizzardous conditions to livable temperatures, I thought it appropriate to survey Chicagoans to see what they’re most looking forward to this spring. Here are my top five favorite answers:

A little leg!

Yes, a male friend suggested this answer. But I have to agree that being able to show off a little leg is something a lot of women are looking forward to doing. And living in one of the world’s most fashionable cities ensures that the parts left to the imagination will be well attired.

Outdoor Seating

It’s a bit disheartening to watch bar patrons pull in outdoor patio arrangements at the end of summer. But fear not, as spring nears, My Drink On is sure to find some out-door patio bar deals so you can baste your winter paleness away while sipping 312.

LSD

Come on, not the drug! We at My Drink On like a good glass of red wine, but we don’t condone that – we have oodles of fun as it is! I’m of course talking about Chicago’s glorious Lake Shore Drive. Nothing says spring like a bike ride, run, or leisurely stroll along sparkling Lake Michigan.

Tornado Warnings

What can I say? I surveyed some interesting people.

The Chow

Chicago becomes home to a new restaurant about as often as Brangelina comes home with a new child. But you don’t hear anyone complaining because our mouths are too stuffed with Stephanie Izzard’s goat masala pizza. Chicago will soon be welcoming Doughnut Vault, Dawali Mediterranean Kitchen and more. To keep up with restaurant openings, check out Metromix’s list of soon-to-be open joints http://bit.ly/gXU8va.
