Chicago is hot tonight — time to find a place to play it cool.
• Cocktail hounds in the know are heading to The Violet Hour in Wicker Park to be seen sipping.
• Rockit continues to be a destination on Hubbard Street, while fans of glammed-up burlesque a la Pussycat Dolls are heading to Cabaret across the street.
• Some folks head to the Underground for some celebrity spotting, while others head for Le Passage.
• Wicker Park's Chaise Lounge gets high marks for drinks and its huge rooftop bar on North Avenue.
