HAPPY ELECTION DAY, CHICAGO! 🗳️ I'm kicking off my Tuesday by heading to the polls and casting my vote. Gotta admit, there's something pretty satisfying about getting that little "I Voted" sticker. It's a small part of my day, but an important one! I hope you're making time to get out and vote today, too. Every voice deserves to be heard!

But first, I've got all the Chicago plans for ya before I head to the polls…

Thanksgiving classics get a chef-worthy upgrade at JoJo’s Feast Mode Nov. 17, featuring Joe Flamm vs. Jeff Mauro, festive food, cocktails, games + prizes. Enter at the site to win FREE tickets to the showdown by Nov 10th!*

FREE ADMISSION? DON'T MIND IF I DO.

Listen, I love a museum day, but I love keeping my money even MORE. Luckily, Chicago's got plenty of free museum days, and we've rounded them all up so we can be cultured AND broke in peace. I'm talking art, history, science, and a whole lot of wandering. Check out the guide!

BUD & RITA’S DISPENSARY PRESENTS:

SAME PARTY, DIFFERENT KIND OF BUZZ

Who says your next night out needs to come with a hangover? Bud & Rita’s Dispensary is switching up the usual party drinks with infused cannabis beverages from Tonic, Journeyman, Keef, and more. Crack open a cola or get creative with elevated shots for a little mixology moment. Same good times, different sips.

Even better? You could score a Bud’s Beverage Traveler Kit with a branded YETI Rambler, 20 oz cocktail shaker, and YETI shot glasses with a carrying case. Your next get-together just got a serious upgrade.

Plus, there's plenty more happening across campus, from discussions on history and culture to free talks with UChicago faculty.
