Chicago's Palmer House Hilton is getting into the holiday spirit with its new series of Joffrey Nutcracker Teas with the famed company's ballerinas and danseurs making an appearance.
The teas, held Saturdays through December 26, kick off on November 21 with the lighting of the Christmas tree at the South Loop hotel's grand lobby. Kiddies can help decorate the tree beforehand and garnish some Nutcracker cookies. ]]>
Football fans who want to head to Chicago to see some pigskin may want to take advantage of the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place's Gridiron Getaway deal. Since the hotel's attached to the McCormick Place Convention Center, it's a popular spot for conventioneers, but the Hyatt Regency's also near the da Bears' castle, Soldier Field.
As part of the package, you'll get a room for two for $109 per night. That rate is good for all 2009-10 season weekend home games, so check to see when your favorite team will be in Chi-Town. We wish the package would include dual-purpose face/belly paint, but no such luck. ]]>
