player ready...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 dinner at Volare with a summer fireworks show at Navy Pier.
Main attraction: Volare
201 E. Grand Ave. 312-410-9900
How much: $7-$45
You know the food at a restaurant is legit when you have to point at a menu item rather than attempt a butchered pronunciation to the server. Impress your date with this Italian Chicago restaurant treasure and fill up with carbs before a night on the dock. Try the Fattoria risotto with roast chicken breast, peas and Volare’s signature four-cheese sauce ($20), or order one of the restaurant’s signature pastas and attempt a “Lady and the Tramp” moment.
Don’t stop: Navy Pier Fireworks
600 E. Grand Ave.
How much: Free
We’re on the home-stretch of summer (cue both collective outcry and joyous dancing for pumpkin spice), which means you have just a few more weeks to catch the Navy Pier summer fireworks show. Every Wednesday through Sept. 2 the fireworks show will begin at 9:30 p.m., and every Saturday it will begin at 10:15 p.m. The nighttime show is a sure-fire way to end your date with a bang.
