You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.
Cicada-tini, anyone?
The cicadas are coming! The cicadas are coming! After a 17 year hiatus, those buzzing, swarming, downright annoying lil' creatures are slated to return to Chicago beginning in late May, say bug experts.
We can't wait: Them's good eating.
No, really: When they invaded the East Coast in 2004, clever restaurants and bars made the most of it, putting critters into candies and naming cocktails with them. Whether eating them whole or baking them into cookies, there's a long history to the tradition, according to Web site Cicadamania.com. (The National Geographic news also has posted a story about snacking on cicadas.)
So will you indulge in a cicada this summer? Be careful: In 2004, researchers at the University of Cincinnati found high levels of mercury in the crop.
