A Weekend Full of Cheesecake, Tacos, Wine and Beer
As I made my way around the city last weekend, I saw four separate street festival setups that were waterlogged and abandoned from the nonstop rain and cold. While the past weather has been unfortunate for those of us who are desperately holding on to summer and ignoring the slight change in leaf color, this weekend promises to have friendlier skies.
That said, here are a couple of street festivals that will make up for last weekend:
-Eli's Cheesecake Festival. Cheesecake and more! Saturday and Sunday, 6701 West Forest Preserve Drive.
-Berghoff Oktoberfest. German food galore. Ends today! Adams and Dearborn.
-Hideout Block Party (beer at a concert counts, right?), Saturday and Sunday, 1354 West Wabansia.
-Northcenter Chamber of Commerce's Second Annual Winefest, Lincoln and Berenice. Today, Saturday and Sunday.
If you need some exercise, get out your bike and eat some tacos on the Vuelta a Tacos ride sponsored by folks at LTH Forum.
