Free Event…The Civic Orchestra of Chicago offers a free interactive performance today at 3p.m. at the Washington Park Refectory. Recommended for ages 5 and up. While there take a peak outside at the Aquatic Center which houses a pool built by architectural legend Daniel Burnham in 1891—two years before the Columbia Exposition. 5531 S. Russell Dr., just east of Martin Luther King Drive.
If you want to make a day of it, stop by C’est Si Bon in the Hyde Park area for Sunday Brunch. The fusion of French, Creole, Cajun, Southern and Soul flavors is amazing. Try the collard green eggroll and if you’re still hungry most definitely have a slice of sweet potato cheesecake. 5225 S. Harper Ave., (773) 363 4123.
If that’s still not enough, head to the Museum of Science and Industry and catch the just opened Omnimax feature the ULTIMATE WAVE TAHITI showcasing world surfing champion Kelly Slater filmed in Tahiti among the islands of French Polynesia—a nice escape from Chicago’s winter.
