The weekend is your championship season.
This week, Perks is getting you the VIP treatment at the Playboy Club's 50th Anniversary bash. You'll also get a chance at an hour-long tennis lesson with the legendary John McEnroe, who'll give you tips on everything from charging the net to the proper way to berate a myopic line judge. Yes, we are being serious.
Your brunches here have been a thing of beauty. Dinner, a work of art. So when this BYOB starts serving its $24 prix fixe dinner alfresco, it's only sensible its patio should double as a sculpture garden, filled with life-size sculptures of horses, pigs and other critters. Petting allowed.
This stretch of Bridgeport near the Cell isn't exactly your first thought when it comes to culinary treasures. So we thought you'd like to know that this breakfast and lunch spot now has dinner, meaning you're never far from a grilled chimichurri skirt steak when you really need one.
Think of this as the world's biggest kegger. You'll sip your way through 200 craft brews, munch beer-appropriate food (we're sure pretzels will be involved), and learn something about home brewing. In case you like your microbrews incredibly micro.
Your Wrigleyville shenanigans are legendary, yet none have involved ice cream sandwiches... until now. Blue Sky celebrates its new shop with sour cream ice cream stuffed into chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter oatmeal filled with cinnamon ice cream, and gingersnaps with a big dollop of lemon curd ice cream in between them. Sandwich-making may never recover.
The gods of summer have spoken: a pig must be sacrificed. Sauce shall be slathered. And beer—preferably something from Texas—shall be drunk. So your hedonistic deities will be greatly pleased as you worship at the altar of unlimited pulled-pork sandwiches, baked beans, housemade BBQ chips, coleslaw, cornbread and $3 Shiner Bock.

PULLING STRINGS Moby Dick, Now with Puppets If Moby Dick was missing one thing, it was a puppet-based interlude. So puppeteer Blair Thomas is correcting that gross oversight with a show inspired by a chapter of the book, titled The Book of Jonah, with some dinner, drinks and an unusually raucous literary crowd on the side. Spoiler alert: the whale always wins. |
