Event: Polar Bear Club New Year's Day Swim

Date: Friday, January 1, noon
Location: North Avenue Beach, 1600 N. Lake Shore

Cost: Free



Why to go: Here's a sure-fire way to shock that hangover outta you: take a dip in freezing-cold Lake Michigan on New Year's Day. That's exactly what the Chicago Polar Bear Club (an informal group) plans to do, and you're invited. Just meet at the boathouse at noon, strip down to a swimsuit, and go on in with everybody else. If this is how your 2010 starts, it can only get better from here, right?

Check out our top five weekend picks.
