[edit] Ravinia in NOT unique

One editor has stated:

"Ravinia is unique in that it is one of the only concert venues in the country to allow full meals to be brought in and consumed at concerts, even allowing alcoholic beverages and bottles of wine."

This is untrue + grammatyically incorrect, or, to put it another way, it cannot be "unique" and "one of the only".

One example of a concert venue allowing food and rink is Wolf Trap in Virginia.

[edit] Food section removed

[edit] Food

This section is written like an advertisement. Please help rewrite this section from a neutral point of view.  (December 2007)

"Most lawn patrons still bring their own picnic meals, to be eaten on picnic blankets across the large lawn. The grounds are also served by Levy Restaurants, with several options for attendees who wish to purchase food on-site. Many carts and kiosks scattered along paths in the park offer wine, drinks, ice cream, and traditional American food choices. The Gatehouse, located near the Martin Theater, offers paninis, alcoholic beverages, desserts and full picnic boxes available for pre-purchase online.

A 2-story dining pavilion debuted during the 2007 season, featuring the Park View Restaurant, and a private banquet hall, accommodating up to 300 guests for special events. The pavilion takes the place of the Mirabelle restaurant, which will be remodeled and reopened.  A new gift shop enables attendees to purchase Ravinia themed clothing, gear and music.

Major nearby corporations, such as Abbott Laboratories and Walgreens, hire Levy Restaurants' on site lawn catering service, offering "Ravinia Nights" to employees and family."

I AGREE thatit reads like an ad. If anyone wants to see this section returned, it needs to be severely edited.
