Description

Enjoy a fun evening out with two tickets to Second City in Chicago and a $25 gift certificate to Maggiano's.

"The Second City opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December of 1959, and has since grown to become the world?s premier comedy club, theatre and school of improvisation?with live shows every night in Chicago, Toronto and Hollywood. Bernard Sahlins, Howard Alk and Paul Sills, son of teacher Viola Spolin, founded the theater as a place where scenes and story were created improvisationally, using techniques that grew out of the innovative techniques Spolin developed and taught. The Second City chose its self-mocking name from the title of an article about Chicago by A. J. Liebling that appeared in The New Yorker in 1952."

"Maggiano?s Little Italy opened the doors of its first location on the corners of Clark Street and Grand Avenue in Chicago, Illinois November 11, 1991. What happened next, as they say, is history.

The restaurant was successful from the very beginning, with eager diners sometimes waiting hours for an opportunity to dine family-style. The portions of Italian?American cuisine were large, reminiscent of a Sunday night visit to their grandmother?s house, or as they say in Italy, nonna?s casa! The recipes were simple, authentic classics, many of them coaxed out of Italian grandmothers, mothers, and aunts whose ideas of a recipe were a pinch of this and a sprinkle of that. With some trial and error, the chefs celebrated the birth of many of Maggiano?s signature dishes."
