The NFL Draft, as we all should know, is making it's way to Chicago tomorrow for the first time ever. The activities should be interesting and it will bring lots of national attention to the city.

The event will take place at the Auditorium Theatre

A probably lesser known (but more important IMO) event beginning May 4th is the National James Beard Awards, beginning it's several year (at least) stint in Chicago. This is essentially The Oscars of the food world. World class chefs from all over the nation will make their way to Chicago, and events throughout the city will bring lots of revenue and attention to the excellent Chicago food scene. The event will take place at the Lyric Opera House

Pretty interesting how these things can just be brushed under the rug on this forum...If these two massive events were going on within 5 days of each other in most cities in America, they would be the talk of the town.

These things have been talked about on this forum. I remember a thread talking about the James Beard Awards when it was awarded to Chicago.
