The List: Super Bowl Picks

Forget the homemade guacamole and head out to these establishments for gameday specials.

Starting today, Oak Park-River Forest Patch will run a new weekly feature called The List, highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off, and more.

We hope you'll find the lists helpful to you, your family, friends, and significant other in finding places for everything from Sunday brunch to New Year’s Eve celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, girlfriend nights out, kids party places, parks and more.

This week? The Super Bowl. (Want to suggest a list? Submit your idea in the comment box.) Let's get to it:
