Rather than putting a ton of effort into an outing and then just hitting one spot, why not extend the adventure? This week, we’re pairing a movie in the park with dinner bites at Revival Food Hall. Feast then flick.
Pre-game: Revival Food Hall
125 S. Clark St. 773-999-9411
How much: Prices vary
Before heading to Millennium Park for a movie, take your date to Revival Food Hall for a bite to eat. The 24,000-square-foot marketplace boasts 15 fast-casual stalls, which feature a number of popular, local restaurants and vendors. You should have no problem snagging a delicious meal to fill up on before your evening film in the park. Grab two fresh and delicious Hawaiian-style poke bowls from Aloha Poke Co. ($7.50-$14.50) or a couple sandwiches from The Fat Shallot like the Truffle BLT ($10), made with bacon, arugula, avocado, tomato and truffle aioli on Texas toast. Top it all off with some artisanal gelato or sorbet at Black Dog Gelato.
