?'s for today 6/25

First...THANKS SO MUCH for all you local experts and your advice!!!

So far the trip is great! Had a perfect day today (sunday) for exploring Mag Mile/loop/Mill. Park.

Now my question...we are not going to be able to get to a Cubs game, unless we happen to come upon free tickets! lol

However, we do still want to go to Wrigley for pictures. There is an evening game on Monday (tonite). We are going to be at MSI all day, it closes at 5:30. Not sure if we will be there all day, but that is what we have planned. So we can go to Wrigley after MSI - how crazy will it be?

We can also go on Thursday. There is no game on thurs this week. If we decide to go in the early evening (7 or 8 pm ish,) is it safe?

What else is there to do around Wrigley, what are the great restaurants around there that we might go to if we go on thurs night? (we are loving the pizza and hotdogs)

Thanks!!

Lisa

If you get to Wrigley prior to the start of the game, the area will be hopping -- lots of people around, and IMHO a better photo op than going to a less hectic Clark %26amp; Addison on a non-game night.

You%26#39;ll also find opportunities to buy tickets in the area (though not ';free';). If you stick around past the start of the game, I%26#39;d bet the ticket brokers on Addison between the L and the park would offer a pretty good discount .

You can do a dining search from Wrigley Field at metromix.com and chicagoreader.com. There are tons of dining options within walking distance.

You will be fine if you go to the Wrigley area around 7 or 8 on a non-game night. It doesn%26#39;t get dark until after then, and that is a really busy area with bars and restaurants even on non-game nights, so you should be fine on safety.

The Wrigley neighborhood is perfectly safe. Not to worry at all.

You can show up near game time and get standing room only tickets - cheap. Then get down and find empty seats in the later innings.

Great restaurants near Wrigley? Tons.

If you are loving the hotdogs, you might want to take a long walk south down Clark St. and get a dog (or the char cheddar burgers - yum) at the Weiner%26#39;s Circle. Legendary.
