Winter in Chicago is always a time to get creative with activities that are both enjoyable and not too cold. This year presents a new challenge amid the pandemic. However, people are finding new ways to have fun. Below are a few ideas:
- Igloos: Many restaurants are offering igloos that provide both heat and safety. The igloos are an option for diners to sit outside and offer some heat that protect from Chicago’s often bitter winters. Fulton Market, for example, has transformed many of its restaurants to offer igloos outside on the street. Find an igloo and enjoy a night out!
- Virtual Classes: There are endless options for virtual classes. Many businesses local and online are offering painting classes, cooking classes, wine tasting classes, and even charcuterie classes. Decide which class you’d like to take and book a session for you and friends to join virtually!
- Curling: A few Chicago establishments, including The Gwen Hotel, are offering outdoor ice curling. This is a fun way to get out with friends safely! Since many ice rinks are closed this season, curling offers a new way to embrace the cold season with friends.
These are just a few ideas to keep you busy this winter season!
