It’s been awhile since you slow-danced, hasn’t it? Perhaps the last time was at a wedding, or maybe at prom when you and your date pawed each other while slowly rotating in circles, leaving just enough space between your bodies so as not to attract attention from the vigilant eyes of chaperones. Should you feel the urge to relive one of those tender moments, the Red Onion is the ideal place. The sleepy Madison Park tavern is perpetually half-empty, save for its lively karaoke nights. A radiant stone fireplace and open area make for a splendid makeshift, mood-lit dance floor. Go ahead, sweet-talk your sweetheart and sway languidly in the night. KEEGAN HAMILTON 4210 E.
