3)     Kids Eat Free on Sunday Nights at Rush Street

Think you can’t take the family out for a fun dinner without it costing a small fortune? Think again. On Sunday nights beginning at 5 p.m., kids ages 12 and under can eat free at the Chicago-inspired Rush Street. Small fries can choose from items such as cheeseburgers, pizza and chicken strips. Each meal is served with vegetables, baked cheddar puffs and a chocolate chip cookie. The menu is subject to change, of course, and beverages are not included.
