Food
Fact: The fastest way to a man’s – or woman’s, for that matter – heart is through the stomach. Fiction: Said culinary courting is one-sided. Meet your possible future mate while putting together a sassy dish tonight at Chicago: Gourmet Dating at the Calphalon Center, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Make reservations if you’ve got $75 and just enough longing for a boy/girlfriend burning a hole in your pocket.

Ice Cream!
Get FREE ice cream today at Coldstone Creamery; they’re celebrating their 7th annual World’s Largest Ice Cream Social. [But as a note to your conscience, Coldstone holds this event every year as a fundraiser for the Make a Wish Foundation, so donate if you can!]

Music
Seize the final opportunity to take in the 2008 Chicago World Music Festival. All showcases today are free, so visit the WMF’s official website to track down the acts you’d like to see most.
