Hi everyone,

 

From time to time, we like to share little gems of Americana—elements of culture specific to the U.S.

 

Baseball Opening Day is a seasonal celebration for some on par with other rituals marking the end of winter, like the first blooming of daffodils and hyacinths on campus.

 

At West End Market, there’s an Opening Day Cookout taking place today on the patio from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm…

we might just be able to smell the grilling from our offices in Harper Hall.

 

“Hot dog variations including the famous Chicago Dog” are being served on the patio.

 

Not a Chicago Cubs or hot dog fan?

 

Seven70 is featuring vegan corn dogs and there’s Buffalo Mac n’Cheese on the menu today at Leaf & Ladle.

 

Play ball!

 

 

Book time to meet with me
