Located in Jenks, just south of Tulsa, the Oklahoma Aquarium is renown for having the world's largest collection of bullhead sharks. You can see them in the Shark Adventure exhibit, where you can watch these beautiful creatures glide gracefully from the walk-through glass tunnel. Other interesting exhibits include Extreme Fishes, Sea Turtle Island, Eco Zone, and Polynesian Reef, all of which showcase colorful and fascinating sea creatures from around the world. In addition to exotic species, the aquarium presents local marine life in the engaging Aquatic Oklahoma exhibit, where you can see a 120-year-old alligator snapping turtle.

Check out “Christmas Around the World” Museum of Science and Industry | 5700 S Lake Shore Dr now until Sunday January 5 2020

Every year, the Museum of Science and Industry puts up its 45-foot-tall Grand Tree and surrounds the towering pine with more than 50 trees that represent Chicago's various communities and their respective holiday celebrations. Visitors can admire the 30,000 lights that cover the trees and stick around for the "snow" that falls from the rotunda every 30 minutes. During the weekend, live performances of holiday music fill the room, lending some additional seasonal cheer to your day at the museum.

Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville Gallagher Way , Wrigleyville now until Tuesday December 31 2019

Don't feel like going to the Loop for your glühwein fix? The Wrigleyville outpost of Christkindlmarket returns to Gallagher Way this year, with fewer vendors than the Daley Plaza version of the event, but just as much holiday cheer. At booths around around an ice rink, you'll find ornaments, beer steins, jewelry and clothes available for purchase, in addition to a smorgasbord of German foods, such as pretzels, sausages, döner and strudel. Naturally, you'll be able to browse the selection of goods while clutching a mug filled with a steaming beverage of your choice. Plus, unlike its counterpart in the Loop, Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville remains open through the end of the year, so you can extend the spirit of the season to the week after Christmas.

We enjoyed the food and the waitstaff were friendly & efficient but I'm not really sure how I feel about being forced to help a "for profit" establishment with their health care premiums!

I never returned to this establishment,Table, Donkey and Stick, but Dec issue of Chicago Magazine gave their Potato Latkes a rave review..

Bad Hunter's, Marisol, and Summer House Santa Monica are three offer these and worth a mention in Chicago Magazine's Dec issue.

After reading the ingredients in each, I have Marisol's, which is a hodgepodge of grains, beets, shiitake mushrooms, and cashews, on my list of new items to try on my next visit to the Windy City.

I did a quick check on Yelp, some get better marks than others, but I don't take Yelp's reviews as gospel...

IMHO this is a subjective claim especially in Chicago...

homoe · 11-23-2019, 01:21 PM

The following four established got mention in Dec's issue of Chicago Magazine.

Chilled Prawns at Margeaux Brasserie ( Waldorf Astoria Hotel)

Classic Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail at Shaw's Crab House 21 E Hubbard St

Cherry Circle Room Shrimp Cocktail at Circle Room 12 S Michigan Ave

Charred Shrimp Cocktails at Portsmith 660 N State Street

After doing a bit or research and scanning the four websites, I'll put Shaw's Crab House on my list...

Caroling at Cloud Gate Millennium Park Dec 6 2019-Dec 20 2019

There's nothing stopping you from showing up in front of Cloud Gate (a.k.a. "The Bean") at any point during the year and belting out your favorite holiday songs, but you can do it with a crowd of like-minded exhibitionists at this annual series of winter concerts and sing-alongs. The caroling is lead by the likes of the Sounds Good! Choir, Mark Hubbard and The Voices (Dec 6), the Chicago Children’s Choir (Dec 13) and the Wicker Park Choral Singers (Dec 20).

It's free to attend and it's just a short walk to the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink if you want to go for a quick skate after you sing.
