Mercadito is opening up their Mexican sauna-esque private room downstairs for a series of Spirit Dinners. Four-course sharing menus are developed by infusing the "spirit of the evening" into each dish, then pairing it with a cocktail using the same spirit. Get the walk through of the spirit's development from a local rep and sip yourself to better knowledge of Grand Marnier tonight.
Tickets are $55 each. For reservations call: (312) 329-9555. Mercadito is located at 108 W Kinzie Street.
