“Chef’s Table dinner” at Bar Roma Jan. 16

On January 16 at 6:30 p.m., Bar Roma will be hosting their first ever “chef’s table” consisting of executive chef Fred Ramos’ traditional Roman dishes. For $60, and an extra $30 if wine pairings are requested, diners will be treated to a seven-course meal containing dishes such as fried zucchini flower, handmade pasta and tiramisu.

Bar Roma is located at 5101 N. Clark Street in Andersonville. To make a reservation, contact Bar Roma at 773-942-7572 or BarRomaChicago.com

New exotic bird exhibit at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum

From 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Jan. 19, The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum will be presenting a Birds of Paradise member event, inviting the Chicago community to usher in the new Amazing Avian Evolution exhibit. This installation aims to introduce the Chicago public to some of the world’s most exotic and fascinating birds by focusing on the many species that call the rainforests of New Guinea home. The museum hopes to educate and entertain its visitors through various mediums from games and videos to interactive displays.

The Nature Museum is located at 2430 N. Cannon Dr. in Lincoln Park and is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Saturday-Sunday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information regarding the museum’s exhibit or to RSVP to the opening event, visit NatureMuseum.org

Las Ideas at The Museum of Contemporary Art Jan. 25-28

From Jan. 25-28, The Museum of Contemporary Art will be presenting Las Ideas at its MCA Stage. Written, directed and performed by Federico León, a renowned Argentine playwright, Las Ideas aims to introduce and familiarize its audience with the sporadic and usually eclectic creative process of its performers via an unorthodox combination of video, instrument and game. The performance is set to run in Spanish with English subtitles for approximately one hour without breaks.

The MCA is located at 220 E Chicago Ave. For more information on Las Ideas or to purchase tickets visit MCAChicago.org or contact the MCA box office at 312-397-4010.

Pedway map by Chicago Detours

The Chicago-based tour company Chicago Detours is urging residents of the city to gain access to the free Chicago Pedway map by either downloading it from their website or receiving a printed version of it as gift after taking the Loop Interior Architecture Walking Tour.

The Griffin Dinosaur Experience and hanging gardens at the Field Museum

This spring, the Field Museum will be introducing a new exhibit consisting of various enormous dinosaur replicas alongside hanging gardens, containing more than 1,000 live plants, in its Stanley Field Hall. A 122-foot Titanosaur will be accompanied by some of Earth’s largest ever flying creatures such as Quetzalcoatlus, whose wingspan was longer than a school bus. This unveiling comes as a part of the museum’s 125th anniversary and paves the way for further additions later in the year.

The Field Museum is located at 1400 S. Lake Shore Drive. For more information, visit FieldMuseum.org
