It's a full week with St. Patrick's day, Chicago Chef Week and UNICEF. Here's where to be…

Prairie Fire and Prairie Grass Cafe

Chefs Sarah Stegner and George Bumbaris are cooking up a traditional corned beef dinner. For a smaller taste of the Irish classic, they'll also go the contemporary route with corned beef spring rolls filled with corned beef swiss cheese and a housemade Thousand Island dipping sauce. The bar mixes up the Celtic Fizz made with Baileys Irish Cream, Jameson, heavy cream and a splash of soda.

UNICEF Tap Project

March 20 - 26 is World Water Week bringing awareness to the world water crisis through UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world. The week is based on a simple concept: participating restaurants ask patrons to donate $1 or more for tap water they usually enjoy for free. Since 2007, UNICEF Tap Project has raised almost 2.5 million in the U.S. Now in it’s fifth year, the program is the first of it’s kind and runs this week. For participating restaurants, click here.
