The weekend has been upheld, with no dissenters.
This week, Perks is getting you 33% off slyly handsome summer neckwear from Artfully Disheveled. Plus: 25% off the world’s tiniest waterproof MP3 player. And a $21 set of indestructible shot glasses welded from steel. Your summer needs this.
Consistent with your “summer Thursdays” policy, you were just about done working, anyway. Good thing, because P.J. Clarke’s is about to kick off an afternoon patio party with local War Shore oysters for a buck and Port City beers (like their new oyster stout) for two bucks. Oysters pair best with oysters.
Summer: the time when you dominate at truly obscure sports (your January ice-fishing derby notwithstanding). Enter United Social Sports’ summer calendar and its lineup of Chicago softball (giant ball, no gloves) and outdoor dodgeball, and a whole league devoted to tailgate sports like cornhole and bocce. You’ve had plenty of practice.
Since the demise of the Eat Wonky food truck, you’ve been looking for your fix of Canadian squeaky cheese with fries and gravy. Look no more, as the truck’s chef comes out of retirement to put on an unlimited poutine extravaganza with endless tap beer... and a bunch of Canadians.
Seems like every week you’ve got a new brunch option. It’s overwhelming... in a good way. This week’s entrant: The Pig, now dishing out gnocchi with bacon and eggs, and the smoked ham Benedict, alongside cocktails like The Squealer (vodka, Meyer lemon cordial, mint). But no banjo.
Ah, Wimbledon. The pageantry. The strawberries and cream. The curtsies. The poplin plaid. These new button-downs from Hugh & Crye pay tribute to the Rogers of the world in Grass Court (green check) and Hard Court (blue check) styles. They won’t restrict your backhand.
