| Spa La La Offers In-House Chef, Reception Space for 100 |
|
Spa La La, a 4,000-square-foot space in Bucktown, opened in July. With five treatment rooms, the spa doles out massages, manicures, pedicures, facials, and waxing services; technicians can also travel to offices to provide foot massages complete with hot towels and foot scrub.
At the front of the spa, a reception area can hold 100. Owner Lizzie Harris wrangled her boyfriend, Ben Walanka—a former Rhapsody chef and a Hell's Kitchen alum—to be the spa's in-house chef. Ranging from $20 to $50 per head, catering pacakages include everything from fruit and sandwiches to hot entrées and sparkling wine. |
