A STRESS FREE NYE PARTY
@ 12PM (For Kids!)

New Year’s doesn’t have to mean staying up till midnight — especially with kids.

This year, we’re hosting a Noon Year’s Party at 2d, a fun, stress-free New Year celebration designed just for families.

🕚 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
🎉 Countdown at NOON

🎊 What’s Included — $24 per person

Each child receives:
🍽 An Entree
🥤A Drink
🍩 Donut decorating activity
🎨 Coloring activities
🎉 Party hat & New Year supplies

We’ll celebrate together with a group countdown at noon,
so kids still get the New Year excitement — without staying up late.

🎟️ Important Details

Number of tickets = number of seats reserved
Additional food & drinks can be purchased separately

Spots are very limited to ensure every child has space, supplies, & a great experience.

❤️ Free Hot Soup for Anyone in Need

Hi friends,

Chicago winters are tough — and no one should feel cold or hungry. That’s why we launched the 2d Soup Drive, and we need your help to get the word out.

If someone needs a warm meal, they can simply come in and tell our team they’d like to join the 2d Soup Drive.

They’ll receive a free hot bowl of soup — no purchase, no questions, no judgment.

📣 How You Can Help

Please share this with anyone who might need it, including:

Local parent groups
- School counselors
- Churches + community centers
- Shelters + support groups
- Neighborhood Facebook groups
- Friends, neighbors, coworkers

Even one share can reach someone who really needs it.

🤝 Donate If You Can

We’re also collecting any non-perishable foods at 2d restaurant for Nourishing Hope, our local food bank.
Everyone who donates receives a free cup of soup as a thank-you.

Let’s take care of our city together — one warm bowl at a time.

Thank you for supporting this community effort.
