A buddy of mine sent me this:
Rogers Park Dinner Crawl This Sunday!
Dear Neighbor,
Join me on Sunday, March 29th, from 4 to 8 p.m., as we travel around the 49th Ward and experience some of the great food our wonderfully diverse community has to offer.
THE ROGERS PARK DINNER CRAWL: A WORLD OF TASTE introduces you to the wide range of delicious food available in the 49th Ward. I am proud to sponsor this event with DevCorp North, Rogers Park's business, community and economic development organization, and The Urban Coaster newspaper.
The 49th Ward is home to people from all over the world, many of whom have set up shop right here in the neighborhood. This is your chance to travel the world in one evening by sampling the great variety of foods offered at some of our finest ethnic restaurants.
A World of Taste will introduce participants to 16 restaurants in Rogers Park. Each participant will be given a "passport" containing a brief description of the dishes they will be sampling and a map of the restaurants.
Feel free to take advantage of our free shuttle service, which will circulate around four stops, picking up passengers and taking them to their next location. Each stop on the shuttle is within a short walking distance of our featured restaurants.
Participating Restaurants include:
African Harambee
Carribbean American Bakery
Charmers Cafe
Common Cup
Grande Noodle
Heartland Cafe
Jamaica Jerk
Lake Side Cafe
Las Islas Marias
Los Portales
Luzzat
Morseland
Masouleh
Sahara Kabob
Taste Food & Wine
Check in first at DevCorp North's offices to pick up your "passport" and map. Once you've signed in and received your materials, you may begin the Dinner Crawl. The shuttle service will drive the route continuously, allowing you to complete the Dinner Crawl at your own pace.
