What is up, Chicago!! In case we didn’t get the chance to meet at the 312 Day Bash yesterday, I’m Yumi, a content intern at Do312 this winter! A bit about me: I was born and raised in Chicago, but now I’m in Evanston studying journalism at Northwestern. I love to try new bakeries, cafes, and restaurants around the city, and I’m always in the community trying to give back in one way or another!

Anyway, enough about me, back to business! St. Patrick’s Day is TOMORROW (in Chicago, at least), and we need to make sure you’ve got plans lined up for the big day. If day drinking isn’t your vibe, don’t worry, we’ve got a whole bunch of other fun stuff for you to check out this weekend, too. Read on for more.
