Schaumburg - Live, Work, Play - November/December 2008 - (Page 24) PreParation is key Eat a big breakfast before you leave. Not everyone goes to malls to shop. Some go there to eat. Woodfield has great restaurants such as P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and the Rainforest Cafe. All 34 restaurants are so good, many local businesses host holiday lunches and dinners there. It could easily take two hours to eat a meal. Print out a copy of Woodfield’s directory at www. shopwoodfield.com. You’ll want the most updated list. The mall’s information desk keeps copies, but doing it at home means you can skip that line. Bring headphones, connected to your favorite portable music. It keeps you in the holiday spirit and makes you oblivious to the aggressive kiosk sellers. You don’t need a flat iron, Crocs or new set of wind chimes. Keep moving. Ditch the car. A great way to get around the Woodfield area is to use the free trolley, which stops at IKEA; Roosevelt University; Costco; Marshalls; Borders; two places at Woodfield – the lower lever between JCPenney & Nordstrom and the upper level between Sears & Lord & Taylor – Dick’s Sporting Goods; Carson Pirie Scott; Loews Theaters and the Pace Northwest Transportation Center. tackle Woodfield The best time to hit Woodfield is the second the mall opens, and it opens earlier and earlier as the holidays approach.
