The Farmers Markets are back! Check the dates and head on out to stock up on some of the freshest ingredients available.

One of the surest signs of Summer is the return of Racing to Arlington Park Race Track. They have been off and running since May 4th so hop on the Metra Northwest Line and be delivered right to their door. A day at the Track is a fun and exciting way to spend the day with friends & family.
Every Metra Rider near the Northwest Pacific Train Line, has access to some of the greatest Bike Trails in the Chicago-land area. Whether you bike for fun or as a means of getting around this post is for you. We’d love to hear about your ride and any tips for the other riders.
If you are looking for a fun way to spend the day/evening check out our list of the finest Irish Pubs on Metra’s Northwest Pacific Line. Hop on the train and enjoy some traditional Irish food and let the proffesionals do the driving so you can enjoy a pint or two of the your favorite Irish Brew.
Going on a bar crawl can be a great way to sample the offerings of different restaurants. This more subdued crawl can easily become a small plate progressive dinner as well. Enjoy the lovely downtown Arlington Heights, as it has a lot to offer, with great restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
Take the train to experience live theater, ballet, musical acts, family entertainment, comedy, original plays and old favorites, you can find it all. The venues are as varied as the acts and many are housed in beautiful historic buildings within minutes of a Metra Station.
You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this pub crawl. We have included five Irish pubs in five different towns. Pick where you want to stop and end, then go out and have some ‘craic.” (an Irish term for fun or good time). If you try all five we would like to hear about your favorites.
Get a group of your friends, family or co-workers together and enjoy the day at beautiful Arlington Park Race Track. Experience the horse races from a private suite. The suites can accommodate groups as little as 16 up to 100.
If you like to cook or want to learn there is a cooking class for you. A variety of classes are available for men, women, children and couples. Great ideas for a guys or girls night out, as well as a date night or bridal party. Have fun while learning something new.
