I can’t remember the last time I went to a Cubs game on a Saturday afternoon. I didn’t go on this day either, but we ended up making our way over there as part of my birthday weekend celebration. Let me tell you: It’s a bit different than any other day or time.
It’s a fricking party unlike any other. We passed by a little bit after the game ended…about 5-530, and the party was full blast. Every bar up and down Clark St was packed. Music blaring, drinks flowing, and people dancing; it was just another Saturday at Wrigley I’m assuming.
There were other factors that made it jumping to the ultimate. It was a perfect summer day. The Cubs won. Toronto fans represented big time. Mix it all together, and this party was full swing before 6pm; I wonder how many folks will make it to midnight. Have to pace yourself you know…
We ended up stopping in a few of the stores; I was looking for some birthday swag. I found something in the final stop; a new Cubs hat which is my new Twitter profile pic. I had tried on a hoodie too, but decided against it. If I’m going to spend $65 on a hoodie, it better feel perfect, size and comfort. It didn’t, but the hat did. It wasn’t $65 either, after all, we still had some partying to do.
We stopped in one of those bars, and it was like I walked into a time machine. I was back at the club, and there were drunk people dancing everywhere. There was a bachelorette party in the back, with all the girls wearing pink wigs. It was going on. We ended up just making it a pit stop, and took our party elsewhere. We still had to pick up our dog from daycare and oh yeah, our son from grandma’s house. If we stood there, we may have been a bit delayed.

So off to our next stop… and the decision was Pequods. That was just our speed. Sit down have a couple beers, and enjoy the best pizza in the world; I don’t think I had Pequods since my birthday last year. Only one problem; they were lined up outside. Luckily, there were two seats at the bar; we were good.
As we sat down, we noticed the couple next to us; they were dressed in Blue Jays gear. I told them: you got some good advice. Coming in from Canada to see your team play in the best ballpark in the world, and then ending up coming to the best pizza place in the world…jackpot!
They were cool too. Spent the whole time BSing with them. From her meeting Michael Phelps, to their leader being less experienced than ours; go figure! My son would have been very impressed, as he still watches Phelps vs Shark almost everyday. We definitely would have liked to keep partying with them, but duty called. We made sure they had another good recommendation or two before we left; park and field for the night, Al’s beef for the best Italian Beef sandwich, and we confirmed Manny’s as the best place to get corned beef. Great meeting you guys; maybe we’ll meet again one day…
But not sure when the Cubs and Blue Jays will, after Sunday’s game I mean. Like I said, we could have met in the World Series last year; this year may be a bit tougher, for both of us. But the Cubs are still maintaining their slim division lead, and that’s all we can ask for. Get in, and see what happens. I’ll bet the playoff atmosphere around the park meets and exceeds even a Saturday game like this. We want more! Go Cubs!

Pretty wild how it is around Wrigley on game days…before, during, and after. It is a non-stop, all day party. How can you not love that atmosphere? All of the things that they are doing around Wrigley…a new hotel, shopping, restaurants. It is a one-stop destination for a complete day of fun, especially when the Cubs Win! The little grass field, bars, shops, the World Series trophy…it all adds up to a big, entertaining event on game day, or even on a regular day if you are in the area. Wrigley and the surrounding area is only getting bigger and better. Visiting fans are in for a real treat coming to Wrigley to see the World Champs play against their inferior team…hahaha. Since the sox are taking a page out of the Cubs rebuild playbook, they should also look to take advantage of the area around cp3 and make it a happening spot. Now, people have trouble walking to the game depending on the direction they’re coming from. Make it something good so people could watch the game and have a good time…maybe the sox could get more people inside the stadium then? Oh well, maybe in the future. As for now, get to Wrigley and enjoy everything it and its surroundings has to offer…you will not be disappointed.
Even the biggest Cubs hater cant hate on that. GO CUBS GO!!!
