Maybe it’s Irish, maybe it’s not, but kiss the weekend anyway.
Your Perks: 1) A bottle of Lock Stock & Barrel 13 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey—arguably the most acclaimed new whiskey on the market. 2) 34% off a brilliantly simple wireless speaker. 3) Really exquisite vintage barware from the golden age of drinking. Your home bar deserves this.
Look at the calendar. We’re seven days from spring. (Cue wry, rueful laughter.) Still, this new LA-based shop in the Southport Corridor carries a line of men’s lightweight T-shirts, beach-worthy chinos-type pants and supersoft henleys. You may just go out like a lamb after all.
Frozen or not, they’re still planning to dye the Chicago River green on Saturday. Which means you’ll probably need a nearby retreat for a hearty Irish breakfast and a pint of Guinness. This party has it. It also has 113 other kinds of beer. In case you’re feeling nontraditional.
A seat at the riverside patio of an elegant steakhouse for appetizers and cocktails: also highly recommended. Order corned beef and cabbage or just a peppermint-schnapps-spiked mint milkshake. Frankly, if you were any closer to the river, you’d be green.
The Ides of March is gonna get weird. But good weird. Specifically, Redmoon weird. This party is filled with over-the-top-ness. Examples: you’ll find a BBQ cyclone grill, which is sort of a bike-powered barbecue grill carousel, and a Whiskey Libation Server, which is... well, some things you just have to experience.
Nothing else sparks the imagination quite like these two little words: free hamburgers. Just kidding. Hamburger is sort of a long word. Anyway, to celebrate its fourth anniversary—the beef anniversary—all M Burger locations are giving you any kind of burger with your purchase of... anything.
