<em>Mission Impossible: Rogue Weekend</em>
Your Perks: 1) The same aviators worn by the Italian Air Force aerobatics team. Eye-catching. 2) More tank tops than we know what to do with. Seriously. Help. 3) One of these very rare, very vintage Omega watches. They move fast, if you can imagine.
Cancel your lunch plans for tomorrow. Don’t ask why, just consider the following: a fast-casual, choose-your-own-adventure stir-fryer called Brightwok Kitchen is now open in the Loop.

When your date says, “Let’s do brunch” on Sunday morning, you say...

D) All of the above.
Wonder how D would play out.
