This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner Elf. The New York Times says that Elf is “splashy, peppy, sugar-sprinkled holiday entertainment;” USA Today calls Elf “endearingly goofy!”; Variety proclaims, “Elf is happy enough for families, savvy enough for city kids and plenty smart for adults!” (Theater tickets must be picked up at the Palmer House tour desk.

tours and events 34. Blue Man Group with Dinner at Mia Francesca 5:30 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. Price per person: $170

Prepare for an evening that will be hard to describe but unforgettable! Depart your hotel for dinner at Mia Francesca, which features the zesty, earthy cuisine of Rome and the surrounding areas of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio. Mia Francesca was one of the first restaurants in Chicago to encourage the lively art of dining with a contemporary, casually sophisticated Trattoria ambiance, simple, rustic cooking and friendly service. Following dinner, make your way to the Briar Street Theater to experience Blue Man Group. In Chicago since 2007, the Blue Man Group is a high-energy combination of mime, percussion, visual feats and lots of audience interaction and participation that makes for a great theatrical performance not soon forgotten. From the moment the Blue Man Group takes to the stage and the deep percussive bass begins, you’ll find yourself at the edge of your seat, enthralled by their amazing show! Flying toilet paper reams, spraying colored water (blue, of course) and strobe lights are all part of this production that has captivated audiences around the world time and time again!

35. Segway | Holiday Lights 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Price per person: $120

d e l el

Why walk, when you can glide? This evening take in the sights of Chicago Holiday Lights while zipping around the city on a Segway! Your tour begins on Michigan Ave where you will view the ice skaters in Millennium Park skating under the brightly lit trees and their beautiful reflection captured by “The Bean”. Then head to view the festive holiday windows of the old Marshall Field’s building (Now Macy’s) before continuing to the Christkindlmarket for a cup of hot chocolate under the famously large Christmas tree in Daley Plaza. This is only a taste of what you will see on this one-of-a-kind tour!

43. ComedySportz

8:00 p.m. Performance Time Price per person $30 Location: The ComedySportz Theatre, 929 W. Belmont Ave. ComedySportz is the longest running short-form improv show in Chicago. Now in its 24th year! It’s not stand-up comedy about sports... it’s improv comedy played as a sport! ComedySportz is a completely improvised show in which a red and blue team battle for your laughter. A referee hosts each show and comes to the audience to shout out suggestions and ideas that drive the show! When the show starts, they calibrate their Applause-o-meter and award points to the team that receives the loudest laughs and cheers! At the end of the first half, the team that is behind has to play the most difficult ComedySportz game in the playbook—“5 Thingz”. After a brief intermission, the two teams are back to make you laugh even harder! Audience interaction now becomes extra fun as it’s your turn to get on stage! Our improvisers always make the volunteer look like a rock star! Audience Volunteers walk away with a great memory

and are rewarded with a ComedySportz Ref Treat. After all of the games have been played, listen for Mr. Voice to announce the winner! Is it the Downtown Chicago Bosses in blue or is it the visiting team in red? Your laughter and cheers determine the winner! Because all of your suggestions are different every night and there are hundreds of games in the ComedySportz playbook, the show is never the same twice! Want to see something funny? Shout out your idea! (Theater tickets must be picked up at the Palmer House tour desk. Transportation to the theater is not included.) newly added for monday, December 2

44. Chicago Bulls vs. New Orleans Pelicans 7:00 p.m. Game Time Price per person: $80

Make your way to the house that Michael Jordan built. The United Center is a state of the art sports facility with all the amenities. Thousands flock to the city’s West Side for each Bulls home game but it isn’t just about watching basketball—it’s about experiencing the joy of the game. Past legends like Michael Jordan & Magic Johnson have battled here and future legends entertain every night. The Bulls made a statement in 2011 by clinching the top seed in the East. Although they fell short to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, they showed that they will be a contender for years to come. Just like any off-season, it is time for teams to reflect on the previous season and find areas to improve. The good thing for Chicago is there isn’t much that needs to be done. For the most part the Bulls have a young core of players who are still getting better with each game. Regardless of the season’s record or the night’s final score, fans can rest assured that they will leave with a smile on their face. (Bulls tickets must be picked up at the Palmer House tour Desk. Transportation to the United Center is not included.)
