In following with today's "holiday," Earth Day, I thought I'd share a link to the Trib's list of 17 green restaurants in and around our city.
While most people don't observe earth day, ie- plant a tree, pick up trash, write a letter to your local congressman about how your beach is so polluted most of the days it's shutdown due too looming e. coli threats, it would be advisable to at least be choosy about where you eat this weekend. It gives you purpose for your choice and sparks conversation.
Scroll through the list and see what surprises you. What caught my eye was the dining room at Kendall college, it looks almost whimsically romantic with a great view of the city lights, who knew? CG is looking into it. Also, kudos to Paul Kahan and the Avec/Blackbird troop for their eco-friendly ways.

On a side note, I'm looking forward to Easter and sticking with the green theme. Brunch will be at Green Zebra. It's the acclaimed vegetarian and vegan-focused sister of Spring in Bucktown. Full report to come.

Daily Deal: If you go to Starbucks with an empty tumbler or mug they'll give you a cup of joe for free. Thanks Mama Earth!
