Liquid from the Gods

The Bite:
imageWater: the drink that launched a thousand bottling companies. You may tote your own bottle while on the go - America's landfills collect 2.5 mil water bottles per hour - but what to do when you're out to dinner? Change course and support some of the city's conscientious local eateries serving water that's filtered in-house. Tavern at the Park will fill you up with l'eau de tap from reusable handblown turquoise glass bottles, and A Mano, a River North trattoria from the Bin 36 crew, serves both sparkling and flat water from its Italian filtration system. Sustainable, free H2O? A true gift from the gods. 
Wanna Try: 
Tavern at the Park, 130 E. Randolph St. b/t Michigan and Stetson Aves. (312-552-0070).
A Mano, 335 N. Dearborn St. b/t Kinzie St. and Wacker Dr. (312-629-3500).

Cocktail Fact

The oldest known message in a bottle was set adrift in 1914 and recovered by a fisherman in 2006. 

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters drink water from a reusable bottle instead of a disposable one for a year, we'll save 1,700 barrels of oil.
