At the Korean-owned Ding Dong Dang, karaoke the Asian way with your own personal booth. Don't worry about other patrons hearing your sad attempt at Bohemian Rhapsody, just your friends. Surprisingly cheap, although if you order any of the Korean food or alcohol the tab will start to add up.

One block from the Arlington Heights Metra stop, this 350-seat theater is part of a larger village development called the Metropolis. Besides the theater you'll find a club called The Boiler Room, shops, and apartments.
Before its closure in 2021, it was one of the premier horse-racing tracks in the Midwest; Arlington Park had been in operation since 1929. It was the home of the Arlington Million, a Breeders' Cup Classic qualifying race. Owner Churchill Downs Inc. announced plans in February 2021 to sell all 326 acres of Arlington Park property for redevelopment. The park is now officially closed and no more horse races will ever take place. As of September 2021, it has not been bulldozed to the ground yet. The Chicago Bears, the area's representative in the NFL, are reportedly on the verge of buying the property in order to build a new stadium.
