Ladies Night at The Art Center – The First Thursday of Every Month.

One of HP’s most celebrated annual gala’s, the Highland Park Historical Society will tuxedo it up on Saturday, March 13th at 6pm.  The event will feature “Here’s Lookin’ at You”, a short HP film, along with wining and dining and surprise entertainment troupes and acts. 

The HP 17-piece Big Pops Band will certainly play dance-friendly numbers (think M.C. Hammer) and the Silent Auction always has some compelling buying opportunities.

$225/couple ($115/pp), Birchwood Country Club- March 13th at 6pm.  To purchase tickets, please call  847-432-7090 .

HP Movie Theater sells a 10-pass of movies for $45 – a savings of $25 off the “list” price of $7.00.  That’s quite a savings for some “almost-new” releases.  So let’s say you’re double dating and the other couple picks up the tab and you’re like “we’ll pick up the movie”.  Well, using the HP Movie Theater passbook you just dropped $9.00 on that other couple – GOOD THINKING! As our guess was that dinner was more than $4.50 a head…

With a deep wine list, elegant food and dimmed lights, Rosebud and romance carry on very nicely together, indeed.  With that said, Rosebud fills up for V-Day dinner faster than most restaurants – with the possible exception of Yummy Bowl - so if you’re interested, it’s worth reserving your spot here: 

And lastly, for the record, Rosebud’s website is www.rosebudrestaurants.com which is decidedly different than simply typing in Rosebud  – a site which could frankly derail your V-Day experience entirely… Poor Citizen Kane…

Yummy Bowl is hosting a Chinese New Year concert and celebration on January 29 and 30th (Friday and Saturday).   It’s the Year of the Tiger and in past years, the concert has included traditional dancing and music and a fabulous spread of Chinese food.  Approximately $30/person and reservations are a MUST!

Reserve your spot by calling:   847-266-8880 .
