Despite the fact that warm weather feels like it just arrived, we’ve only got 6 weeks left until Labor Day weekend. Why not take advantage of the remaining season by having some fun after work in Chicago?
The Suites Collection executive offices are located in River North and Downtown. Both neighborhoods offer plenty of special events to enjoy this summer.
Everywhere you look in the loop on Thursdays, you’ll see someone carrying a bouquet of beautiful fresh flowers. It’s likely they just visited the Daley Plaza Farmers market across the street from Theater District Business Center. Local farms set up tents selling fresh produce, jams, breads and other homemade goodies from 7am – 3pm.
After work, grab a picnic supper & meet your friends in Grant Park for a movie. Beginning tonight, movies play Tuesdays at sunset for the next 6 weeks. Blankets or lawn chairs are recommended! Here’s the schedule:
July 15: 8:57 p.m. “All About Eve”
July 22: 8:51 p.m. “The Odd Couple”
July 29: 8:44 p.m. “The Blues Brothers”

For a unique sightseeing experience near Court House Executive Offices head down to the River Walk and view “Chicago Looks: Portraits by Chicago Artists”. These portraits reveal the artists’ personal perspectives on Chicago and their approaches range from literal portraiture to surreal interpretation. Be sure to check out the portrait between Clark & LaSalle titled “The Pit Broker” by Rebecca Byrne, owner of Studio 12 Fine Art located in Tree Studios.
