One of the most welcome harbingers of spring in Chicago every year is the return of tour boats to

the waters of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, including the familiar sightseeing vessels and

water taxis run by WENDELLA SIGHTSEEING (401 N. Wabash, 312.337.1446). Another upshot to

the arrival of spring is the ability to get out and traverse the city without having to be enclosed

in a fully sealed and heated conveyance. In other words, expect plenty of CHICAGO TROLLEY &

DOUBLE DECKER COMPANY (773.648.5000) trolleys and double-decker sightseeing buses.

Finally, no quest for warmth and excitement in Chicago would be complete without a little time

on NAVY PIER (600 E. Grand; 312/595-7437). In addition to the usual assortment of rides and

attractions, the Pier is hosting visits from the Easter Bunny.

Still undecided about what to do in Chicago? Here is one of our favorites:

The 30th Annual Chicago Latino Film Festival is being held through April 17 at AMC River East

21 Theatres (322 E. Illinois, 312.596.0333) this year. The two–week festival is more than just

about films, it’s about promoting and increasing awareness of Latino culture among Latinos and

other communities by presenting a wide variety of art forms. During the festival, over 100 feature

and shorts films from all over Latin America, Spain, Portugal and the United States are screened.

The audience has a chance to participate in discussions with local and visiting filmmakers. The

film festival is non-competitive with the exception of the coveted Audience Choice Award and

the Gloria Achievement Award. The Gloria Award will be presented on Wed., April 16. Tickets are

$12, with some discounts available. Visit chicagolatinofilmfestival.org for the complete schedule.

A good place to eat lunch or dinner before or after a few screenings is Su Casa Mexican

Restaurant (49 E. Ontario, 312.943.4041). This River North eatery has been serving traditional

Mexican fare since 1963 and is located only a couple of blocks from the theater. Open Sun.–

Thurs., 11am–Midnight; Fri. and Sat., 11am–1am.
