Little Diner’s Crew is a dining club for kids between the ages of 4-12. We expand kids palates beyond mac-n-cheese and chicken fingers. Each month LDC hosts a unique dining experience at a different restaurant that allow kids to travel the world through food. Kids interact with chefs, taste different cuisines, rate each dish, learn how food is prepared, and appropriate dining etiquette.

Holiday Brunch at S.K.Y. 
Saturday, December 20th
12:30 pm – 2:30 pm
S.K.Y., 2300 N Lincoln Park Way
Chicago, IL
Registration Closes December 20th
Get your Crew ready to celebrate the season in style at our Little Diner’s Crew Holiday Brunch at S.K.Y. — the newly reimagined home of Chef Stephen Gillanders, now shining inside the historic Belden-Stratford building in Lincoln Park.
S.K.Y. has always been known for its contemporary American cuisine infused with Chef Gillanders’s global inspirations — and this holiday experience takes things up a notch.
Kids and adults will enjoy a festive 5-course menu crafted especially for Little Diner’s Crew.
Think imaginative flavors, beautifully plated bites, and dishes that feel celebratory from the very first taste.
S.K.Y. closed its doors at the beloved Pilsen location… only to re-emerge with a stunning new energy, a new neighborhood, and the same culinary magic that made it a Chicago favorite.
Now, we’re bringing our Crew to celebrate the holiday season together in this iconic new space.
Join us for:
✨ A 5-course holiday tasting menu for kids and adults
✨ A warm, family-friendly atmosphere
✨ Chef-driven dishes that expand palates and spark curiosity
✨ A little bit of holiday magic at every table
Bring your Crew. Bring your appetite. Bring your holiday glow.
This is a brunch you won’t want to miss.
