The go-to spot before or after shows in the Lincoln Park theater district turns 25 years old in June. Trattoria Gianni celebrates with a massive, Italian-style dinner party on Monday, June 24, and I've got invites for a few lucky folks.

To be considered, you must be a fan on the 312 Dining Diva facebook page. Look for the post about this event, and tell me why you should go. And yes, you get to bring a guest! The contest ends at noon June 20 and I will pick the winners by noon June 21.

What You Should Be Sipping This Summer

Finally, some REAL summer weather!

To celebrate, I encourage you to indulge in what's certain to be the best drinks this season: the Moscow Mule and a number of Polynesian-inspired elixirs. We uncover some new twists on the classic tipplers.
