Welcome to the Northalsted Newsletter!
Whoever decided to make the first week of October this exciting should get an award, because this week is filled to the brim with exciting events! We’re kicking off the weekend celebrating Mean Girls Day (don’t forget to wear pink) and listening to Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” on repeat up and down the block. Moving into Saturday, we have our Fall Taste of Northalsted, showcasing delicious bites and bevs from Northalsted’s very own restaurants and more. Cut to Tuesday, we have our very first Live Music Night in Space Park featuring Chicago’s very own Tommy Bravos! And that’s only the highlights; Chicago’s Proudest Neighborhood has so much more in store for you, so come on down! You don’t want to missed this absolutely stacked week!
