Love Greek food? Come to Greektown in Chicago…read more In the 1840s, ship captains came to Chicago. This led to the captains' families following who became food peddlers who eventually opened restaurants. Initially, Greektown was near the Harrison and Halstead area, but was forced to relocate due to the expansion of University of Illinois-Chicago and then the construction of the Eisenhower Expressway which forced the neighborhood to move a few blocks north. Many of today's Greektown was built during the 1970s-1980s. Are you a fan of gyros and saganaki (flaming cheese)? Thank Chicago's Greektown. Both were introduced in 1968 at the Parthenon Restaurant. Today, there are so many great choices for traditional Greek restaurants. Our favorites are Greek Islands and Athena. At Greek Islands, start with an appetizer like the saganaki or the cold spread sampler or get the combination plate. The combo gives you such a nice variety-leg of lamb, Moussaka (we switch to the vegetarian), Dolmades, veggies and roasted potatoes. So delicious! At Athena, sit in the open courtyard on a sunny day and get transported to Greece. Start with a delicious Greek salad full of feta cheese, kalamata olives and crisp cucumbers. The saganaki is a great show and the warm cheese is so good. Get a combo dip platter. The taramosalata and melitzanosalata are delicious. For entrees, our favorites are the sea bass, leg of lamb, gyros and vegetarian Moussaka. Walk and enjoy the shops. Start your day with a cup of coffee or tea and a baklava. Or enjoy a lazy Sunday brunch at a cafe. Learn more with a visit to the National Hellenic Museum. Check the website for hours.

Cliche/touristy as Millennium can be to some locals, seeing a movie here is just a perfect way to spend an evening. Good company, watching a movie while the sun goes down, Pavilion adding their own flare with subtle color lighting and also the skyline - couldn't ask for more. Recommendation: go EARLY EARLY to get a good spot. Please be considerate of your fellow movie goes and don't plop your big chair in front of people who are sitting on a blanket on the ground. Bring your favorite food and beverages of course. Also recommend double blankets or yoga mat underneath as the ground can be wet. Two and a half hour movie was difficult to sit in on position on the ground so we said next time we'd get those 'chairs' that sit flat on the ground but have back support. This time around talenti was giving away free PINTS of ice cream - yay thanks!

Most of the vendors accept cards and many accept Apple Pay, but you will find some who are cash only. While it isn't required, they do ask that you pay $20 a person to get in. This donation allows Market Days to afford musical talent, so don't be stingy. Just pay up and know you're supporting a great cause.

Worst year ever. Seriously…read more I've been attending this event for years, and I honestly can't remember a year this disappointing. I used to look forward to the live music, the variety of vendors, and actually having a reason to spend the day there. Apparently, those days are over. This year's "entertainment" was a joke. No name headliners, and even the local bands were nothing to get excited about. I guess the organizers decided that if you can't bring in good music, you might as well bring in less music. And the vendors? Apparently the theme this year was "Cheap Jewelry & Knockoff Sunglasses--Something for Everyone!" The variety was practically nonexistent. I walked around wondering if I had accidentally wandered into the same booth repeated 20 times. After attending for years, it's pretty sad to see an event that used to be something I genuinely looked forward to turn into such a disappointment. At this point, I can't say I'll bother coming back next year. Unless there's a major overhaul of the organizers, entertainment, and vendor selection, I'll gladly find something better to do with my time. Maybe next year they'll remember that people actually come to these events to be entertained.
