On Groundhog Day, lunch at Harry Caray’s repeats itself

Chicago Tribune | January 31, 2012 | by Phil Vettel
On Groundhog Day, lunch at Harry Caray’s repeats itself

For most of us in Chicago, Feb. 2 brings back memories of last year’s intense snowfall. But for Harry Caray’s, in which “Groundhog Day” writer/producer/director Harold Ramisis is an investor (he’s a partner in Harry Caray’s Navy Pier), Feb. 2 means something else entirely.

So in homage to Groundhog Day (the day and the film), the city locations of Harry Caray’s (Navy Pier and 33 W. Kinzie St.) are offering this novel two-for-one deal: Come in for lunch in the dining room this Thursday, and you can return Friday and have the exact same lunch, free.

(Certain restrictions apply, as restrictions are wont to do.)

This offer makes more sense if you’ve seen the movie, but if you haven’t, here’s the short version. Bill Murray plays a cynical TV weatherman who inexplicably finds himself living the same day — Groundhog Day — over and over. He uses the extra time to systematically woo Andie MacDowell. There; you’re all caught up.

Fans of the movie Groundhog Day are in for a big treat at Harry Caray’s! In the spirit of the movie, Harry’s is offering guests the opportunity to relive their Groundhog Day lunch—for free. Come for lunch in the dining room at Harry Caray’s on Kinzie or Navy Pier on February 2nd, and come back the next day to enjoy the exact same entrée on us!* Guests can still order from the movie-inspired Daily Specials as they will be run again the next day.

Harold Ramis, writer and director of the film, is a partner in Harry Caray’s Navy Pier, and his original script and director’s slate will be on display at Harry’s on Kinzie. These and other pieces of memorabilia from Harold’s movies, including Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, and Animal House, are part of a permanent display in the Chicago Sports Museum at Harry Caray’s Tavern Navy Pier.

*Certain restrictions apply.
