This weekend’s main event is a certain football game. (Maybe you’ve heard a little something about “Deflategate”?) Fortunately for you, Make It Better has you covered. Whether you’ve decided to invite friends over to watch or plan to cheer at a crowded bar, we created the perfect Super Bowl menu and picked the best restaurants to visit for the game.
Of course, there is more going on around town. Kids will love the opportunity to meet a best-selling author, as well as the chance to explore the great outdoors. And if eating delicious food is your favorite way to enjoy the weekend, the best two weeks in Chicago are here!
