Enjoy a Girl’s Night Out with Laughter and Ouzo in Vernon Hills, IL

From time to time, I actually get a chance to troll around Vernon Hills without my munchkins in tow.  This time out, I’m planning a Girl’s Night with a great group of friends.  Instead of the blatnatly obvious Sex and the City 2/cocktails evening, we’ve decided to plan for ouzo and laughs at Zanies and Opa! in Vernon Hills, IL.

Located off of Hwy. 60 right behind the Hawthorne Shopping Center, I’ve heard that Opa! has some of the best Greek food in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs.  I find that Greek food is particularly suited for a large group of people as appetizer sharing can lead to great conversations and many laughs.  I took a drive by the restaurant and the outdoor dining area looks beautiful.  And to make things even better, Opa! is having a special where you can get a free order of Fried Kolokithakia (zucchini) with any 2 entres.  Always the sucker for coupons, my mind was thinking “Jackpot” when I hit that one.  They also feature live music and entertainment, but you need to give the establishment a call to find out who and when.

After good food and good drink, what could be better than a good laugh?  Virtually next door to Opa! is Zanies Comedy Club.  I’ve been to Zanies a couple times and most people I take don’t even realize that the famous Chicago venue has a location in the Northwest Suburbs.  Well, those people are missing out.  There are some great headliners (Anthony Clark will be headlining in July) as well as up-and-coming local talent.  General admission starts at $23 and there is a two item minimum.  However, every Thursday night, Zanies has free admission for anyone that works or lives in the 60061, 60060, 60047,60030, 60089 zip codes.  How’s that for great night out!

After a day of planning play dates, shuttling people to and from camp, grocery shopping and bemoaning the demise of my car I’m so greatful that Vernon Hills and the Northwest Suburbs has so much to offer for adults looking for a night of fun.
