CHICAGO — It's pretty terrible out this morning, but it's supposed to clear up this afternoon! Here are some ways to take advantage of a few hours of sunshine.
1. See a Movie Outside: There are a few good movies playing in parks tonight. "The Birdcage" is playing in Millennium Park. The movie stars Robin Williams as a gay drag club owner and Nathan Lane as his partner, who is one of the club's drag stars. The couple's son is marrying a woman from a super conservative family. Hilarity ensues. Work late? About a mile west, "Ghostbusters" is playing in Heritage Green Park. Both free. "Birdcage" starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, 201 E. Randolph St. "Ghostbusters" starts at 8 p.m. at Heritage Green Park, 610-30 W. Adams St.
2. Get a (cheap) Fancy Dinner: Deleece offers a three-course menu for $25 on Tuesdays. Snag a patio seat and try the ahi tuna with ginger-parsnip puree, toasted sesame seeds, miso-poached baby bok choy and soy lychee glaze. $25 for three courses. Open for dinner from 5:30-10 p.m. Tuesdays at 2747 N. Southport Ave.
3. Take in Some Chicago-style Irish Music: Sean Cleland and Friends will perform traditional Irish music at the Welles Park gazebo tonight. Let your kids do a jig and record it to hold against them when they're teenagers. Free. Starts at 6:30 p.m. at 2333 W. Sunnyside Ave.
4. Meet New Friends While Working Out: Fleet Feet has a 3- to 6-mile run for women every Tuesday evening. Head to the Old Town store, drop off your stuff and head out. Whether you're super fast or need to walk a bit, you're welcome to join. Free. Starts at 6:30 p.m. from Fleet Feet Old Town, 1620 N. Wells St.
