ICE, ICE BABY A city that counts its river and lakefront as signature civic assets certainly doesn’t shy away from the water just because the temperatures get frosty, which is why winter is a great time of year to find ice skating opportunities all over Chicago. The McCormick Tribune Ice Rink sits in the heart of Millennium Park (201 E. Randolph, 312.742.1168), just steps away from the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture and against the backdrop of the towering skyscrapers of Michigan Avenue. But for a truly unique skating experience, it’s hard to top the new Ice Ribbon at nearby Maggie Daley Park (337 E. Randolph, 312.552.3000; featured on the cover), where the ¼-mile path winds around and changes elevation. Elsewhere, there’s seasonal skating too... In the Farm in the Zoo at Lincoln Park Zoo (2200 N. Cannon, 312.742.2400), and even indoors at the Winter WonderFest at Navy Pier (600 E. Grand, 312.595.5282) if things get too cold outside. 4

It’s a cultural holiday experience at the Museum of Science and Industry’s (5700 S. Lake Shore, 773.684.1414) annual Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light exhibit. 50 Christmas trees are all beautifully decorated by volunteers from Chicago’s diverse ethnic communities representing various cultures and holiday traditions.
For all the fun and frolic and endless go-go-go of the modern Christmas scene, for many the best memories of the holiday season happen on the ice – be it a quiet rink in the park or a crowded rink in the middle of the city. Fortunately, Chicago offers plenty of diverse rinks to do a few figure eights. The city’s newest “rink” is actually more of an “ice trail” winding through the new Maggie Daley Park (337 E. Randolph, 312.552.3000) on the eastern edge of Millennium Park. The Ice Ribbon is a ¼-mile-long meandering frozen path dotted with trees and majestic light masts that will create a moon-lit glow throughout. As of press time, specific hours and prices had not been finalized so please call first. Need a little more room to execute those figure eights? Take the BP Bridge over to the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink at Millennium Park (201 E. Randolph, 312.742.1168), where Olympic hopefuls and wobbly beginners alike slide in the shadow of the Bean. keymagazinechicago.com

mEAT
Nothing says “classic Chicago” quite like the neighborhood tavern, which has long been the secular equivalent of the local parish as an anchor in many enclaves. Even the bustling Loop is a considered a neighborhood, and since 1935 Miller’s Pub (134 S. Wabash; 312.263.4988) has been offering it’s patrons world-famous ribs, steaks, sandwiches with a smile
“Fresh” is the order of the day at Catch 35 (35 W. Wacker, 312.346.3500), where the dozens of daily seafood choices (like the Georges Bank scallops pictured above) are always fresh from the water, the preparations reflect fresh tastes and fresh thinking, and the cool, jazzy vibe of the room provides a wholly fresh and exciting dining experience.
While some restaurants incorporate skewers into mEAT’s (215 E. Chestnut, 773.328.8320) menu, a majority of our menu boasts the concept. Their skewers are meant to be ordered like sushi; complete ideas, cut in bite-sized pieces. Meant to share, each patron will have their own tongs to select the scrumptious bites of their choice.

Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a traditional visit to the circa-1907 Walnut Room at Macy’s State Street (111 N. State, 7th floor; 312.781.3125). The wait times grow increasingly long as the holidays approach, but everyone wants a look at that original oak paneling and a chance to dig into a classic Mrs. Hering’s chicken pot pie.
The folks at Labriola definitely know their baked goods, which is why it shouldn’t be surprising to know that they were instrumental in bringing legendary West Coast chain Stan’s Donuts (259 E. Erie, 312.255.1130) to the Windy City. Stop in for a yummy chocolate glazed or apple fritter and an eyeopening cup of Stan’s coffee to get your day started right.

after dark
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, CHICAGO REALLY HEATS UP. FROM THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE STAGE TO THE LOW LIGHTS OF A DANCE CLUB, THE CITY IS ALIVE WITH MUSIC, LAUGHTER AND EXCITEMENT ALL NIGHT LONG. For nearly four decades A Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theatre (170 N. Dearborn, 312.443.3800) has done away with convention with diverse casts and surprises unique only to the Windy City.
in the mood for... THE BLUES
CHRISTMAS COMEDY
Kingston Mines Santaland Diaries
Summer, fall, winter or spring, Chicago has the blues all year long. And one of the city’s favorite places to indulge this musical affliction is the North Side stalwart Kingston Mines (2548 N. Halsted, 773.477.4646), where some of the best local players, like Carl Weathersby, keep the music going deep into the night all week long.

David Sedaris’ wickedly entertaining The Santaland Diaries returns to Theater Wit (1229 W. Belmont, 773.975.8150) for another year of ensuing hilarity. Based on a collection of the same name by New York Times’ bestselling author, Santaland Diaries recounts Sedaris’ days as a struggling writer, as he reluctantly takes a job as a department store elf at the expense of his dignity.
CRAFT BEERS
Gino’s Brewing
Brew Master Kevin McMahon and his crew at Gino’s Brewing Company (500 N. LaSalle, 312.988.4200) aren’t just making craft beer – they’re brewing champions, as evidenced by a recent four-medal showing at the prestigious 2015 U.S. Open Beer Championship. Stop by today and sample the medal winners, they’re sure to please.
STAND UP COMEDY
The Comedy Bar
One of the best parts of the holidays are all the fun specials on restaurant and bar menus— especially the delicious cocktails to warm you right up. At Club Lucky (1824 W. Wabansia, 773.227.2300) they’re serving up the Sleigh Ride, a “secret concoction” of rums, Amarula, and cinnamon sugar, garnished with a white chocolate cigarette. It’s “reminiscent of the old-fashioned Christmas cookies,” says GM Thomas Kleiner.
Standup comedy is now served hot in River North every weekend! Under the same roof as the legendary Gino’s East pizza and the award-winning Gino’s Brewing Company is The Comedy Bar (500 N. LaSalle, 773.387.8412), a great addition to Chicago’s burgeoning standup scene and a perfect way to round out your evening of food and fun.
Meanwhile Chicago’s only year-round rooftop bar, Vertigo (2 W. Erie, 312.202.6060), keeps you toasty with the Chicago Winter, made with raspberry schnapps and Blue Curaçao. And, we’d bet even Santa would love the St. Nick's Martini from Italian Village (71 W. Monroe, 312.332.7005). This tasty holiday drink includes vanilla vodka, tiramisu liqueur, and a grenadine splash, topped with peppermint whipped cream. But, when you’re in the mood to celebrate the holidays with a little bubbly... We’d suggest you head over to SHAY (222 W. Ontario, 312.374.4683).
