Come check out the area's newest co-working space, Come check out the area's newest co-working space, @25ncoworking during their official grand opening this Tuesday, May 23, from 5-8 p.m. Whether you're looking for just a distraction-free desk to send work emails, a private office suite to call your own or even a customized meeting or event space, they've got you covered. We've worked there several times over the past two months and can vouch for how beautiful, functional and versatile the space is. Swing by Tuesday to see N25 for yourself, sip a cocktail and network with the @parkridgechamber and the rest of the community. Oh, and don't forget to register to win a free workspace for yourself (or your team) for an entire month too. 222 S.

Fantastic and much-needed escape with the family l Fantastic and much-needed escape with the family last night to @ziassocial in Norwood Park. Calamari, wood-fired pizza, 8-finger cavatelli with Italian sausage, cocktails and good ol’ chicken parmesan. Noteworthy: The generous portion of chicken parm, a menu staple that could probably feed three people, is only $14 on Tuesdays. #therealparkridge #italianfood #patioseason #chickenparm
