Located at 702 W. Fulton Market, Carnivale is less than two miles from the United Center \u2013 meaning you will need to drive to the arena after dinner. The dinner was great although their drinks (Mojito and Caipirinha), which they are supposedly famous for, could have been much better.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Beg, Borrow and Deal<\/span><br \/>\nAs usual I needed tickets before the game. I first walked to the main United Center box office. There I found Broker Ben and another ticket broker who I recognized.

The face value at the box office (or from Ticketmaster.com) was $75 each so I still paid less than \u201cmy\u201d face value price.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Nashville Predators at Chicago Blackhawks Game 2<\/span><br \/>\nVince Vaughn and the Chicago White Sox were in attendance for last night\u2019s game.
