Your Perks: 1) A tiny yet powerful portable speaker that’s perfect for a rooftop, a pool or a rooftop pool. 2) 60% off Britain’s best waxed-canvas bags. 3) A stylish smartwatch that syncs with your phone so you never miss another call or text again. Oh, it also tells time.
More than chirping birds. More than little bunnies. More than the Cubs. And more than any stupid calendar. The best indicator winter has ended: that annual rite of spring known as Mayfest, the year’s first street fair. We predict a bumper crop of beer this year.
Okay, it’s a little cold for the beach. But you can still stick a metaphorical toe in the water at this beachside alfresco charmer, located in Edgewater’s Berger Park, now open for the season. The revamped menu includes lobster salads and sangria. It’s never too cold for those.
If we said that May 16 was purportedly called “Dry-Aged Meat Day,” you would probably think—well, wait. Don’t answer. See, Eataly is celebrating with almost half off its prime 28-day dry-aged boneless ribeyes and prime dry-aged sirloin. So... Happy Dry-Aged Meat Day, we guess.

This marks Smoke Daddy’s 20th year of superlative barbecue making. Yes, an all-day pig roast buffet is in order. Also in order: a good blues-filled hoedown. So along with raffles and rum-laden Pig Punch, you’ll find blues bands wailing all night long. Wail right along with them.
