Chicago Star Media kicked off its second annual Streeterville Week event on May 21 with a lively party that brought together dozens of prominent Chicagoans in support of downtown businesses.
The event, held at the Mariano’s Lakeshore East patio, featured food, beverages and live performances from Doorstep Divas singers (Molly Callinan and Caitlin Simone), a Marilyn Monroe impersonator from ZZAZZ Productions and The Magic of Keelan Wendorf. Guests at the party included Chicago Star Media staff and board members, reporters, entertainers and representatives from local businesses.

Attendees enjoyed giveaways from participating Streeterville Week Chicago businesses, including bracelets from Pinstripes, keychains from Park Hyatt, raisin crisps from Labriola and flowers from Mangel’s Florists. One attendee won a free one-night stay at the newly opened Sable Hotel at Navy Pier.
Decorations and other donations at the event showcased the generosity of the local business community—Kehoe Designs (Tom Kehoe) contributed a colorful, custom frame for photo ops; Luxe Bloom (Shelley Rosen) donated a beautiful rose plaque in the shape of the Chicago Star Media logo and Eli's Cheesecake Company (Maureen and Marc Schulman) provided treats for the goody bags as well as tasty cheesecakes.

Streeterville Week was created in November 2020 as an initiative designed to lift community spirits, boost morale and encourage residents and visitors to shop locally. More than two dozen local businesses took part in the inaugural event, with some participants, such as Pinstripes, seeing over 40 percent increases in revenue.
This year, more than three dozen restaurants, hotels, fitness centers and other downtown businesses participated in Streeterville Week 2021, which runs from May 21-31. Among the offerings at the 10-day event were free fitness classes and discounts on membership packages, special choice menus at restaurants and staycation options at hotels highlighting VIP perks.
Doorstep Divas performers Molly Callinan and Caitlin Simone entertain the audience.

Membership is $350 for individuals, $500 for businesses with 10 or fewer employees and $1,000 for businesses with 10 or more employees.
Members of this exclusive program have access to special member events, the opportunity to include their logo on the Chicago Star Media website and participation in company email blasts to city property managers and an extensive network of local leaders.
