Paris L: Don't like the crowds in Millennium Park? Grant park is a perfect place to quietly roam through gardens, gaze at fountains and artwork, and reconnect with nature. Perfect for a summer night.

Paris L: Not exactly near East West, but I think it deserves an honorable mention. Located on Grand Ave, volunteering at the Anti-Cruelty Society is a very fulfilling way to spend the afternoon.
Paris L: Perfect for theater fanatics. Not quite as upscale as the lyric opera, but certainly nothing to scoff at. I enjoy the more casual, light environment, and the plays are entertaining and well-acted.
