It’s the weekend in a photo finish.
Your Perks: 1) Flowers grown from a volcano in South America. Good story, great Mother’s Day gift. 2) An engraved bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue. Say it with scotch. 3) Some boxing gloves... signed by Pacquiao and Mayweather. We know you know those two.
Step 1: Download Lash, a new liquor-delivery app.
Step 2: Browse the selection.
Step 3: Order something good. Like a single malt old enough to drink itself.
Step 4: Just sit back and wait for it to arrive. You’ve done enough already.
There’s a big mint julep drinking event on Saturday. Something about a horse race... So get to Sissy’s for bourbon, big hats and Southern snacks, and while there, be sure to watch what’s considered the most exciting two minutes in sports. Time bathroom breaks carefully.
Or for something a little more... polo, try this Derby-themed polo match that’s flush with champagne and picnic baskets. You’ll watch guys go horseback riding with mallets, you’ll drink out of flutes, and you’ll break for a live showing of the race. Just how Ralph would do it.
If you notice a preponderance of swimwear, sunlight and drinking in cabanas, don’t be alarmed. That’s just the onset of pool season. And you likely wandered into Sisu, where you can find day parties each Sunday, starting this Sunday, at their pool. Stay as long as you like.
That iconic maker of Chicago deep-dish pizzas, Gino’s East, has headed... south. To Arlington. And starting this Monday, they’ll make that time before and after Rangers games better with sandwiches, beer and obscenely deep pizzas. Remember, hands at 10 and two.
