Make your belly dance on Frankfort Avenue [Crescent Hill]
I spent my 21st birthday in Chicago. It was rainy. We were hungry. And we knew a friend of a friend who said she was working at a Mediterranean restaurant downtown. But it turns out she wasn’t waiting tables. She was dancing around them – in a tasteful and partially-clothed, culturally-relevant manner, that is... And it was that evening that first introduced me to the genuine art of belly-dancing and taught me that it a) exists and b) is pretty stinking cool to watch.
Booze and belly dancing in Crescent Hill
Spring is trying to wiggle its way out of winter's final clutches, which means it's time to get excited about the F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop again. The event, which takes place the final Friday of every month, just isn't the same when it's cold outside. Free trolleys take revelers up and down Frankfort, Mellwood and Story avenues from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Almost forgot: Oftentimes, free booze is in abundant supply.
2010's first F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop
During the year's first F.A.T. Friday trolley hop tonight, the restaurant It's All Greek to Me is offering bellydancing lessons (sexy), Kaviar Forge and Gallery is conducting forge tours (toasty) and the Wine Rack has vino to pair with chili (tasty).
