Happy Earth Day from the RNRA and River North Clean Streets 🌎🌳

Today we’re spotlighting one of our proudest initiatives. What began as a solution to weekend litter has grown into a powerful partnership with CleanSlate—bringing together neighborhood investment and meaningful employment🫂🪴

While River North brings the energy, Clean Streets brings the reset. Every weekend, crews are out early restoring our streets so the community wakes up to a cleaner, safer neighborhood🧹🌇

The impact goes beyond what you see—creating real opportunities and pathways forward for those involved💞

Happy Earth Week 🌎🌳

RNRA kicked things off by giving back to one of River North’s most beloved green spaces, Montgomery Ward Park. It was incredible to see our community show up in full force; we had so many helping hands that we were able to wrap up in record time!

To every volunteer who came out to assist, our neighborhood and earth is now a better, cleaner place because of you — thank you!! 🫶🏼🌿

On April 23, Hawksmoor is partnering with Chef John Manion, from El Che Steakhouse and Brasero, for a one-night-only Beefsteaks dinner – a London tradition dating back almost 300 years.

Think of it as a collision of British beefsteak revelry, South American steakhouse mastery, and a room full of Chicagoans ready to get their hands messy.

Tickets are limited and going fast.

Only three rules: Come hungry. Bring friends. Leave full.
