You’ll find entertainment aplenty at Millennium Park, so come on out

and enjoy the free park happenings. The park, for example, hosts

the exhibition Interconnected: The Sculptures of Yvonne

Domenge, running through Oct. 21, comprised of three large

spheres that defy gravity and space; self-guided garden tours;

and more.

BP Bridge: Take the long way across Columbus Drive to Daley

Bicentennial Plaza via Frank Gehry’s whimsically serpentine steel creation.

Chase Promenade: A beautiful tree lined walkway that spans the length of the Park.

Cloud Gate: The brilliant stainless steel curves of what has affectionately become known as

“the Bean” mirrors both the skyline above and curious onlookers below.

Jay Pritzker Pavilion: Architect Frank Gehry’s bold outdoor band shell, with its soaring steel

ribbons and state-of-the-art canopied sound system over the lawn, is a breathtaking design.

Self-Guided Lurie Garden Tour: Open 6am–11pm year round, Lurie Garden is living art. Stroll

at your own pace with a brochure from the Millennium Park Welcome Center.

Interconnected: The Sculptures of Yvonne Domenge: Striving to represent underlying pat-

terns in what may outwardly seem chaotic, Yvonne Domenge’s sculpture consists of bright,

organic shapes, such as Tree of Life, a 16-foot tall bronze sculpture painted bright red. Often

referencing the natural world, Domenge’s work reveals a fascination with form and geometry.

On display through Oct. 21.

Self-Guided Audio Tour: Travel at your own pace and listen as the masterminds behind the

world’s most spectacular new public space—architect Frank Gehry and artists Anish Kapoor and

Jaume Plensa—recount how and why Millennium Park was built and the secrets that lie beneath.

If there’s one thing that can be said about Chicago weather, it’s that it can be unpredictable. One

minute, it’s beautiful and warm, and the next, it’s pouring, and all you want is a sweater. Here are

some tips to make sure you’re ready for all kinds of weather. Layering is important when you’re

dealing with uncertain temperatures. At DESIGNER RESALE (658 N. Dearborn, 312.587.3312), find

a beautiful cashmere or fleece wrap to keep you warm. A good pair of rain boots is a Chicagoan’s

best friend. Stop into HANIG’S FOOTWEAR (875 N. Michigan, 312.787.6800, and other locations)

for a pair of the trendy Hunter wellies in at least a dozen colors or some Sorel boots that will last

you through winter. If you can’t fit all your new gear in your suitcase, stop into PATAGONIA (48 E.

Walton, 312.640.5934; 1800 N. Clybourn, 312.951.0518) to pick up a new messenger or tote bag.

The weather may be beginning to cool down, but that doesn’t mean your food should.

Chicago’s restaurants have a range of spice levels that can satisfy even the most heat seeking in

your party. Start your day off with a spicy Bloody Mary from ELEVEN CITY DINER (1112 S.

Wabash, 312.212.1112)—if you like it, you can even take home a bottle of their special Serious

Mary Mix ($7.95). If you’re craving Mexican, order some veggie fajitas with spicy sauce or a steak

burrito with salsa verde from SU CASA RESTAURANT (49 E. Ontario, 312.943-4041). Thai food

can be notoriously spicy, with hot chili peppers often incorporated into dishes from papaya

salad to curries. DAO THAI RESTAURANT AND NOODLE PALACE (230 E. Ohio, 312.337.0000) is

a good place to get your heat fix, with dishes such as Chicken Pad Ped, a spicy chicken curry.

Ich Bin Ein ChicagoanWhen it comes to life at the legendary CHICAGO BRAUHAUS(4732 N. Lincoln, 773.784.4444),every day is Oktoberfest. From the steaming plates of sausages to the roaring oompah band andmassive steins of beer, a tradition-al German party is pretty muchwhat the place is all about. Evenso, there’s still something extraspecial about fall, when the slightchill in the air, the colorful tent out front, and the more boisterouscrowds help propel the annual“official” celebration ofOktoberfest to a whole new level—in part thanks to the copious amounts of Spaten Oktoberfest beer. Chicago Brauhaus Oktoberfest runs through Oct. 28, starting at 7pm nightly (except Mon. and Tues.).

Hyde and Seek

Still undecided about what to do in Chicago? Here is one of our favorites:

While Chicago already stands as a world-class center for arts and culture, arts lovers are never-

theless particularly excited this week, as the city welcomes yet another impressive addition to

the roster with the public debut of the towering Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts

(915 E. 60th, 773.702.2787) on the University of Chicago campus. At 11 stories high and 184,000

square feet, the Logan Center is certainly an imposing physical presence in the Hyde Park neigh-

borhood, but from an arts perspective the effect could be even greater—the building features

an art gallery, a state-of-the-art movie theater, and a host of performance spaces.

The public gets its first glimpse of the Logan Center in all its ambitious glory this weekend during

the Logan Launch Festival, a three-day celebration featuring performances and installations

designed to highlight every nook and cranny of this new artistic playground. In addition to

ongoing exhibits, weekend highlights include a chamber concert by the Spektral Quartet on

Oct. 12 and student performances of the Hyde Park–set play Proof on Oct. 12–13.

The Logan Launch Festival runs Oct. 12–14. Fri., 12–11pm; Sat., 10am–11pm; Sun., 12–5pm.

Most events are free. For a full schedule, see loganlaunch.uchicago.edu.

Open Season


One of the common questions associated with traditional sightseeing is “What’s going on in

there?” After all, it’s one thing to marvel at an architectural treasure from the outside, but there’s

a whole other perspective that most people who don’t live or work in those buildings will never

get a chance to experience.

The tables are turned this weekend, however, thanks to the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s

Open House Chicago, a two-day, behind-the-scenes pass to some of the city’s most interesting

structures. From downtown skyscrapers to neighborhood landmarks, Open House Chicago

gives visitors unprecedented access to more than 150 significant structures throughout the

city, including gems like the iconic Tribune Tower, the resplendent Auditorium Theatre, and

the exclusive Lake Point Tower, as well as churches, mansions, and cultural sites in Chinatown,

the Gold Coast, and the South Side.

Best of all, this tour of Chicago from the inside out is completely free. For more information and a

complete listing of communities and sites to help plan your self-guided itinerary, call the

Chicago Architecture Foundation at 312.922.3432 or visit openhousechicago.org.
