special occassion - what to do?

our anniversary, and both b-days are in the next month.  What restaurants and things to do would you recommend in/around the city? we're in the burbs but would drive anywhere for something fun or romantic.  we're on a budget, so it can't be more than $100 for each occassion. any great ideas?

Re: special occassion - what to do?

  • sounds like we have the same situation with birthdays and the anniversary!    my birthday, dh's birthday, and our anniversary are all within 2 weeks of eachother in late June/early July, so we face this every year, too!

    We tend to lump all of the events together and either go on a small trip or out to a really nice dinner.    If you have $100 for each occasion, $300 would get you an amazing dinner out in Chicago, perhaps even with some funds leftover for after dinner drinks somewhere, a carriage ride, or ice cream while watching the fireworks (if its before labor day).  I have my favorites in my bio, but I really love MK, Spring, Custom House, and NaHa.   We also recently went to Sepia and LOVED it.    There is also a brand new, very trendy bar in streeterville called C-View , that has an open air deck on the 29th floor of the Affina Hotel.   Its a fun bar with amazing views if the weather is nice. 

     
    Hope you guys have fun, no matter what you decide!

  • We usually go to the Melting Pot.  There are various city and suburban locations.  It's a fondue restaurant.  We usually order a bottle of wine so the bill is a little more.  Usually around $150.
