You’ll find fewer food and drink deals in Chicago on Thursday than you will earlier in the week; most establishments aren’t as desperate for business on Thursdays, as it’s already a more popular day. Many people in Chicago start their weekend on Thursday night though, so it’s a fun night to hit the town. And if you pick the right place, you can experience the Chicago nightlife without spending too much cash.
