Naperville, we know how it is: you're busy. When you get a chance to go on a date, the last thing you want to do is waste any time getting from here to there. In that spirit, we put together this list of the best local date options so you can spend less time getting there and more time getting romantic. The Hollywood Palms What could be more classic than dinner and a movie? Sure, it's an obvious choice, but when you need a break from the little ones, there's no better place to go than a place that won't even consider letting them in. After 5:30 p.m., the cinema is 18 and over only, so you're only going to have to go see that kid flick again if you really, really want to. Arrive early, snag a prime seat, and enjoy dinner and cocktails in …

The big day is Friday, with lots of local activities. But, watching football and relaxing are good ways to ring in the New Year, too.
Over the course of the next three days, we'll bid a fond farewell to 2010 and welcome in 2011. Time sure flies when you are having fun, and we sure hope this weekend brings you plenty of fun! This weekend is different from many others in that the majority of events will take place Friday night, since it's New Year's Eve. We already have compiled a list of some of the top events in and around Naperville. Along with events in town, there's also an event in Geneva you may want to consider. Geneva Underground Playhouse, in conjunction with Papa Severios Pizzeria, is presenting its second annual New Year's Eve party and fundraiser. From comedy to spoken-word poetry, the evening will offer a variety of entertainment that will amuse and inspire…
