Chicago Date Idea Solves Last Minute Plans

Chicago Date Idea Details: Perhaps, a Chicago date idea that appeals to her artistic side but nourishes your appetite for reasonable prices and generous portions  — makes last minute planning effortless.

Despite the fact that the show starts at 7 PM on Wednesday, there’ are not any tickets to purchase. That’s because this performance of Silver Tongue’s  first college debut, commencing at Columbia College’s Conaway Center is free. This live variety show consists of performances based on topics of the encyclopedia with Wednesday’s theme being “bears.”

When: Wednesday, September 29th, 7 PM

Where: Conaway Center | 1104 South Wabash

Cost: Free

An short drive or even a bus ride away, Cafe Bionda is exactly a one-mile south of the Conaway Center. The interior exudes mahogany wood fixtures, reminiscent of an Italian eatery in New York. The menu is a showcase of  reasonably priced, traditional favorites.

Begin with the fried calamari with crispy fried zucchini. Despite Cafe Biando’s  knack for serving up consistently good food,  the chicken Marsala; ricotta jumbo shells named, Aunt Mimi’s stuffed shells and the meatball sausage veal braciole are definitive winners.  (Average cost: $25 - 30 per person)

Café Bionda | 1924 S. State St. | Chicago IL 60616 | 312.326.9800
