Psst... It's Super Bowl Weekend!
In case you've been living under a rock, the Super Bowl is THIS
Sunday. Here's what you need to know to bring you up to speed: It's
the New England Patriots, led by quarterback Tom Brady, vs. the New
York Giants, helmed by Eli "I'm not Peyton" Manning. If you're
asked who's going to win, it's a safe bet to say, "The Pats." New
England is going for the perfect season - 19 wins, 0 losses.
Now that you've got the basics, here's a few places besides the
ESPNZone to catch the game:
In Lincolnshire...there's Cubby Bear North, with two six-foot HD
Plasma screens, in-booth flat screen TVs and another 40 spread
throughout the bar.

In Glenview...check out the Yard House, in the heart of the Glen
Town Center. TVs everywhere, one of the largest bars on the North
Shore and just about every kind of beer - on tap.

game at Pinstripes Bowling, Bocce and Bistro. Overhead screens will
let you watch the game action while playing one of your own!
