Park Ridge Farmers’ Market runs through October

Committed to bringing local farmers and artisans from around the Midwest to Uptown Park Ridge, the Farmers’ Market offers a variety of fresh herbs, flowers, specialty foods, baked goods, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and more. Don’t forget a bit of live music and kids’ activities as well. And it’s perfect for pumpkins, apple cider and a few of those colorful fall displays for the yard.

The market runs through the last Saturday of October from 7 a.m.–1 p.m. Don’t forget your mask! 15 Prairie Ave.

Operated by the owners of the popular Thalaiva’s, we’re told to expect an assortment of small sandwiches and kati rolls (a type Indian wrap with butter chicken or chicken tikka masala inside), as well as customized fresh juices blended in front of you and milkshakes made of dried fruit and nuts. 

Keep an eye out for the upcoming fall issue of The Real Park Ridge for more details about Mandram, opening in September.

The southwest chicken salad at @howardstreetinn 

Keeping it light: This is not your normal sports bar menu. Far from it, actually, and it’s easy to fall in love with a new dish each time you stop by. The menu is that robust. Perfect for summer, in our mind, is the southwest chicken salad that has grilled chicken breast topped with fresh pico de gallo, corn and grated cheddar served over a bed of chopped romaine lettuce — all packed in a crispy baked tortilla shell. Throw on a little spicy ranch dressing and pair with a cold draft beer and you’re set. And pretty guilt free. 

And did we mention Howard Street has arguably the best daily drink specials in the area?
