About me: The Onion and The A.V. Club are pleased to announce the beta launch of Decider.com, a site dedicated to helping you get the most out of Chicago. From dining and drinking to concerts and movies, Decider will assist you in making the right choice.
+ A comprehensive guide to Chicago restaurants and bars, including informative write-ups on the city’s most notable places—from Decider staff as well as our readers. That means you. We'll have lots of beautiful photos too, so you'll know what kind of place you're headed to before you get there.
+ An easy way to keep track of what’s happening at your favorite hang-outs, movie theaters, music venues, and more, as well as updates on your favorite artists, with your personalized Bookmarks page. Keep a list of restaurants you'd like to try, then review them once you do!
+ An inclusive events calendar, featuring write-ups from Chicago’s most well-informed critics previewing music, film, comedy, theater events and more. Looking for something to do tonight? Click the date, narrow your search, and decide.
+ Inventive interviews, feature stories, and blog posts.
+ The ability to add your own reviews and grades, contributing to the discussion rather than just reading it.
And Decider will present all of this and more in an easily navigable site that's designed not to overwhelm you with information, but make it simpler for you to take advantage of what Chicago offers.
So get started, and thanks for your patience while we work out the beta bugs. Your comments are always welcome everywhere on the site, and feel free to hit us up with your ideas.
