SUMMARY:Hyde Park Fall Bulb & Mum Sale 2024
DESCRIPTION:The annual autumn Bulb and Mum Sale takes place on Saturday\, September 21\, 2024 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. It focuses on two main offerings: bulbs for colorful spring bloom and chrysanthemums for autumn color. The huge variety of bulbs are divided into 4 departments: Daffodils\, Tulips\, Crocuses & Hyacinths\, and Specialty Bulbs (including aliums and irises).  \nThis year\, we’re pleased to also offer a limited selection of native plants\, being provided by some of our members from their own yards. These include plants that prefer autumn planting rather than spring\, just as Green Dragon (Arisaema dracontium). \nBut this sale isn’t limited to just bulbs. Most years\, we manage to offer a variety of house plants\, especially those that are easy to care for. We also try to provide an eclectic mix of perennials that can be planted in the fall (such as anemones\, peonies\, irises\, and grasses) and colorful autumn ornamentals such as colorful varieties of kale\, cabbage\, and peppers. \nBe sure to check out our NEW location in Kimbark Plaza (53rd and Kimbark)\, between CVS and Hyde Park Produce! \n

SUMMARY:Grand Opening of Mahari Restaurant
DESCRIPTION:On January 17th at 12pm Mahari Restaurant will celebrate its official grand opening in the Hyde Park Shopping Center with a ribbon cutting supported by the Hyde Park Chamber of Commerce! ✂️ \nCelebrate with Mahari as they share their passion for delicious food and great vibes at 1504 E. 55th Street in Hyde Park Chicago. \n\nMahari restaurant was featured January 9\, 2025 on WGN’s “Spotlight Chicago” with Sarah Jindra and Ji Suk Yi.  “From the vibrant spices of West Africa to the soulful comfort foods of the American South\, one new Hyde Park restaurant is inviting you on a unique culinary journey of tradition. ‘Mahari’ is a dining experience that combines African\, Caribbean\, Creole\, Afro-Latina\, and soul food cuisine.”\n\n—-\nThe Hyde Park Herald reports that “Mahari\, a new fusion eatery by Hyde Park-born chef Rahim Muhammad\, is bringing cuisines from across the African diaspora to the Hyde Park Shopping Center in August.” \n“He’s still finalizing the menu\, but several preview events he’s hosted around the city can give a taste of what’s to come: dishes like bacalaitos\, Puerto Rican cod fritters with mango chutney; sweet plantain french toast and Moroccan couscous with suya smoked and grilled lamb. For drinks\, Muhammad paired the menu with cocktails like the ‘Mahari-ta\,’ a ginger liqueur\, mango puree and citrus mix\, and the ‘Sorel Sling\,’ made with Moroccan hibiscus blended with Brazilian clove\, Indonesian cassia and Nigerian ginger.”
