Millennium Park is accesible via the CTA #3, #4, #151 and #157 buses.

Millennium Park

With its seemingly endless array of concerts, exhibits and crowds, many people see summer as

the time of year to experience the many joys and pleasures of MILLENNIUM PARK. But this

urban gem really is a year-round place of discovery, and fall is one of its most enticing seasons.

The LURIE GARDEN, for example, may not be bursting forth with the same vibrant colors of the

summer months, but the muted hues of autumn hold their own subtle charms. Meanwhile, the

hordes of picture-takers around the popular CLOUD GATE sculpture (affectionately known as

“The Bean”) may be smaller, but the stunning reflections of sky and skyscrapers are just as

amazing. Likewise, the giant heads that comprise artist Jaume Plensa’s 1,004 PORTRAITS

exhibit are just as imposing as ever. After all, there’s still plenty to discover in the park!

Shopping


The leaves are changing and there’s a distinct chill in the air. While some may bemoan the lost

barbecues and beaches of summer, shoppers know that fall is prime retail season. One of the best

seasonal shopping excursions, of course, is the search for the perfect Halloween costume, and

you won’t find a better selection than at the massive FANTASY COSTUMES (4065 N. Milwaukee;

773.777.0222). For more of an everyday wardrobe addition, gear up for your next outdoor adven-

ture at MARMOT (932 N. Rush; 312.943.0750), where you'll find plenty of functional performance

clothing and accessories that look great while keeping you comfortable, dry and warm. Prefer to

craft your own cold-weather gear? Get all the yarn and needlepoint supplies you need for that

next scarf or hat project at WE’LL KEEP YOU IN STITCHES (67 E. Oak; 312.642.2540).

A sweatshirt or light jacket is generally enough to hold off the chill of a Chicago autumn, but

warming oneself from the inside is certainly recommended as well – and the city’s hot restau-

rant scene offers a number of great ways to do just that. A big barbecue meal is one way to get

your internal furnace going, and the massive pork chops and meaty slabs of ribs - not to men-

tion a free appetizer with the ad on page 40 - are sure to get the job done at CARSON’S (612

N. Wells; 312.280.9200). Of course, fall is a great time to visit the CHICAGO BRAUHAUS (4732 N.

Lincoln; 773.784.4444), where the ongoing Oktoberfest celebration promises even more great

German food, beer and music than usual. Meanwhile, outstanding seafood is always in season

at CATCH 35 (35 W. Wacker; 312.346.3500), where the freshest varieties are always on the menu.

Nightlife


Chicago’s neighborhoods are rightly lauded for their amazing range of color and diversity,

but the same thing could reasonably be said for the city’s busy nightlife scene. Like to laugh?

From nationally prominent standup comedians to a variety of great revue shows built and

maintained by the renowned Second City, UP COMEDY CLUB (230 W. North; 312.662.4562) is

your destination for all things hilarious. If a dose of classic Chicago blues music is what your

night demands, you’ll find the real thing live and on stage seven nights a week at KINGSTON

MINES (2548 N. Halsted; 773.477.4646 – get $3 off your cover charge with coupon on page

48). Finally, for something a little less “classifiable,” head up to the Briar Street Theater for the

long-running spectacle that is BLUE MAN GROUP (3133 N. Halsted; 773.348.4000).

Meet the Artist

Still undecided about what to do This Week In Chicago? Here’s one of our favorites:

Finding a great work of art that really speaks to the observer is a rare enough occurrence; getting

the chance to meet the artist behind the work is rarer still. But on Friday, October 17, fans of the

linear expressionist work of Jean-Claude Gaugy will have a chance to shake the hand of the

man behind the many impressive carved wood paintings lining the walls at Atlas Galleries.

In many ways, the pairing of Gaugy and Atlas is a perfect fit. The artist, discovered as a teen by

Salvador Dali, has been producing his lyrical and bold paintings for more than 40 years. Atlas,

meanwhile, has been exposing Chicagoans and visitors alike to the amazing work of artists like

Gaugy and others for nearly 47 years.

The Jean-Claude Gaugy meet-and-greet reception will take place from 6pm to 8pm at the Atlas

Galleries location at 900 N. Michigan, level 6. For more information, call 312.649.0999.

Celebrating 47 Years in Chicago“Our family has been scouring the world for over 47 years. We’re proud to say that if you

want to see the best views in Chicago, we’ll show you the best art in the world”– Diane Petr Hasenstab, President
