A day like today has us thinking about strolling through the streets...all the better if it's with a few glasses of wine under our belts.

That's the idea behind next week's Lincoln Square Wine Stroll, a progressive party with stops at several different neighborhood businesses for hors d'oeuvres and drinks. Stops include Provenance Food & Wine, Pizza D.O.C., Bad Dog Tavern, DANK Haus, Bistro Campagne, La Bocca della Verita, Cafe Selmarie and more (your trip will include four businesses). The only potential drawback? The forecast does call for isolated thunderstorms and a high of 59 degrees.But since when is the weather predicted accurately?

The fun runs from 7-9:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 8, and tickets cost $40. To reserve a spot, call (773) 728-3890.
