Pup Crawl
Every month, Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Company leads a big red, pup-packed vehicle to a different dog-friendly venue. All dogs are vetted, spayed or neutered, microchipped (thanks to Lake Shore Animal Shelter and the Anti-Cruelty Society), and up for adoption. Guests can also enjoy special deals (last month, half-priced pizzas were offered on Ranalli’s Café & Pizzeria’s dog-friendly patio). Chicago History Museum, 1601 N Clark St; chicagotrolley.com; Sept 26, 11am–1pm, free.
