Try a late dinner and drinks at one of the grills and sports bars that line Irving Park Road. Stick around for a long night of appetizers and game-watching if your team is playing. Otherwise, make a move towards the southern portion of the neighborhood to seek out one of the lounges or hidden nightclubs.

Take some classes or catch a daytime showing at one of the theater companies in the area, or receive some musical or dance training to hone your expressive skills.
