BRIDGEPORT — Chicago Restaurant Week is all about getting out and exploring new places in the city.
But the two-week dining event, in which more than 250 restaurants serve up special price-fixed menus, is also a chance to try some neighborhood restaurants you might otherwise be saving for a special event.
The dining dash takes place Jan. 30-Feb. 12 throughout Chicago and the suburbs.
Here's a look at some of the restaurants on the South Side. Click the links to be taken to their Chicago Restaurant Week special menus.
