🎄✨ A Chicago Holiday Tradition: Dinner Under the Great Tree at the Walnut Room! 🍽️🎁
Let’s kick off the holiday season with a Chicago classic — a traditional Christmas lunch beneath the Great Tree inside Macy’s (forever known as Marshall Field’s!) in the gorgeous Walnut Room. 🌟 One of our members was able to get a 2nd reservation for the group but on Tuesday afternoon for lunch so some new spots have opened up!
For the 5th year in a row, we’re keeping this beloved 1001 tradition alive! 🎉 Normally, we dine on Black Friday, but this year we have trouble with the reservations so we’ll be celebrating a bit early — while the Christmas décor inside and outside Macy’s will be already in full swing! 🎅🎄✨
> 💡 The Christkindlmarket opens on Nov 21, but you’ll still enjoy all the magical holiday lights, décor, and festive spirit!
Laura was able to get a 2nd reservation on a Tuesday afternoon. 😢 Please only RSVP if you are 100% sure you can attend!

### 🕯️ ABOUT THE WALNUT ROOM
The world-famous Walnut Room was the first restaurant ever opened inside a department store (est. 1905). With Circassian walnut paneling imported from Russia, Austrian chandeliers, and its signature Mrs. Hering’s Chicken Pot Pie, it remains one of Chicago’s most cherished holiday dining experiences. 🍗🎁✨
