Raise a glass

During our recent visit to Sixteen, the new restaurant in the Trump International Hotel and Tower, we were offered the choice between tap or bottled water. No surprise there: couture water is becoming de rigeur even at places that don't have Swarovski crystal chandeliers shimmering overhead. Out of curiosity, I asked for the price of the bottle. It was $12. I'll stick to tap, thank you very much. When water costs $12, it better be soda and have some vodka in it.

But even cheapies people like me may want to kick in a buck for that normally gratis glass of Chicago's finest at more than 150 restaurants March 16-22. Why? That $1 goes to UNICEF's Tap Project. The charitable organization says $1 can supply a child clean, safe drinking water for 40 days.

We'll drink to that.
