Where To Go When You Don’t Want To Make A Big Deal About Your Birthday, But You Actually Kinda Do - Chicago - The Infatuation

"After falling off the stage during your birthday karaoke performance last year—at a place that technically wasn’t a karaoke bar—you want to show everyone how relaxed you can be. Invite some friends to meet you at Amaru in Wicker Park. This is a fun but low-key Latin American restaurant where you can share dishes like chicken skewers in a spicy huancaina sauce or the yuca gnocchi with a delicious rabbit bolognese. It’s also close to plenty of bars, just in case you decide that the good folks at The Violet Hour need to hear your rendition of “Black Velvet” after all." - adrian kane
