The weekend will be hickory-smoked.
Your Perks: 1) Up to 59% off new prints from Banksy. Maybe you’ve heard of the guy. 2) A pocket-size charger that’ll keep your devices alive no matter where you are (that includes the beach). 3) 20% off the glow-in-the-dark bike you’ll be riding all summer.
Korean-American date spots serving oysters with soju granita are kind of hard to find these days. Ones with husband-and-wife chefs (including Top Chef’s Beverly Kim) are even harder. But here’s a secret: just look in Avondale. Because one of those just opened there. Imagine that.
This week, Brendan Sodikoff did what Brendan Sodikoff does so very well. He opened another restaurant. It’s a little ramen shop (with tiki cocktail slushies) in the basement of Green Street Smoked Meats, the West Loop BBQ honky-tonk he opened last winter. Pretty sure Johnny Cash and umami just happened.
Contemplate what you want out of summer. If the answer is things like suede Alden Shoe Co. oxfords and lightweight linen shirts, well, you should probably check out Haberdash. They’re offering 70% off things like that this weekend. Also: we like the way you contemplate.
Rocks closed its Lincoln Park outpost, yes. But it’s bringing its crazy hamburger-with-a-hot-dog-on-top-having ways to Northcenter. It’s also bringing beer, shuffleboard and a patio. It proves that old axiom... every time God closes a burger joint in Lincoln Park, he opens another in Northcenter.
This year marks the fifth anniversary of Roof on theWit. They kick off their summertime Sunday party with $5 burgers, $5 canned beer and a Swiss DJ. Which, as you know, is the traditional DJ of fifth-anniversary rooftop parties.
