Happy National half-off boxes of chocolate day! We hope your Valentine's activities were romantic and cliché. We now encourage you to replace all the hearts, red, and pink in your closet with green, purple, and gold as Mardi Gras is this weekend and Fat Tuesday is less than a week away! Eat good and party on. |
|
If partying all day and night on Fat Tuesday doesn't work with your schedule, do not fear! This Saturday, the 18th, there are so many festive events in the area you'll think you're at the center of Bourbon Street.
This Saturday, keep an eye out for a white trolley in Wrigleyville! From 2 pm to 6 pm, we will be passing out beads and goodies to put you in the Mardi Gras spirit!
