Celebrate restaurant week this weekend in Andersonville, Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Lakeview and Roscoe Village, and even suburban La Grange.
In La Grange, they've been celebrating restaurant week for more than a decade. Following Chicago's lead, they've found it's a great way to attract people to the western suburb with a unique downtown area.
"The great thing about La Grange is there are no chains," said Nancy Cummings, with La Grange Business Association. "These are all small, independently-owned restaurants that are very iconic." They draw diners from nearby suburbs as well as the city for the specials and the variety of restaurants in the downtown area.
"You're hoping they come back, it's up to us," said Kevin Hunter, at Monk's Pub. "We gotta be good to bring them back again. That's the whole idea." In La Grange, if you bring your receipt from the restaurant to another merchant, you get a discount of their merchandise as well, turning restaurant week into an even better deal.
