Hey, Travelle Has Bar Carts Now

Yep: Travelle has officially loosed roaming bar carts upon its dining room. So now when you order, say, a single malt scotch or a Madhattan (made with smoke-infused simple syrup), the bar will travel to you—freeing your waiter to fully concentrate on delivering your steak.

Available now at Travelle, 330 N Wabash Ave, 312-923-7705

Saturday
Your Annual Record Store Day Reminder
THE SPIN CROWD

Your Annual Record Store Day Reminder

Record stores. You remember them. Well, they remember you, too. They think it’s been way too long. So all across town, places known for vintage vinyl, obscure releases, autographed record jackets, etc., will be hosting everything from in-store performances to free hot dogs. Well, more performances than hot dogs.

Sunday
An Easter Egg Hunt for Adults
SEARCH PARTY

An Easter Egg Hunt for Adults

Sure, it would be fun to act like a kid and hunt for Easter eggs. It’d also be fun to be an adult and go to a big party with DJs and amazing food and drinks from places like Longman & Eagle, Parson’s and Scofflaw. Good thing you don’t have to decide.

Monday
The Age of the Carnitas Pancakes Dawns
MEXICAN BREAKFAST

The Age of the Carnitas Pancakes Dawns

Taco Joint River North has two bold new experiments: a walk-up window (open until 4am on weekends) plus a breakfast menu. It will have pancake-wrapped carnitas. It will have margarita-glazed donuts. It will have churros in the shape of donuts. But, please, don’t call it a chonut.
