Heads up: California-based dapper-slingers Marine Layer have blown into town in an effort to woo you with ridiculously soft fabrics and a carefree attitude. They’re also trying to woo you with an evening of 20% discounts, and gratis beer, wine and cornhole. Dammit, Californians know how to woo.
Spike. Set. Serve. Feel free to go ahead and throw those words around with authority at this daylong volleyball event at North Avenue Beach. They’ll have beer, various bikini-clad persons and Mix Master Mike from the Beastie Boys spinning. Presumably sans bikini, but who knows.
Sometimes you just have to grab a bottle of wine, hop a bus, get out of the city and spend the day at the Slagel Family Farm—watching butchering demos. Drinking lemonade. Having chefs from Evanston’s Found and Ukrainian Village’s Rootstock cook incredible meals for you. You know, farm things.
