Earth, Wind & Weekend
Your Perks: 1) A Moroccan-goatskin-leather bag. No two are alike. How very snowflake of them. 2) Dom Pérignon Brut Champagne 2005 in a personally engraved box. Choose your words carefully. 3) Designer sunglasses from Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Balmain... The list goes on and on.
From the Chicago Sushi Herald*: “The city’s first sushi burrito has arrived, and it’s rolled
up with spicy tuna, tempura sweet potato and crab. In other news, Nami Sushi Bar has graciously decided to

*Not a thing.
Your favorite neighborhood café/butchery/bakery/market now serves breakfast.

You: I love deep-dish, but sometimes... I get these urges.
Dr. Pizza: Go on.

Dr. Pizza: Well, Slice Factory just opened their first city location.
You: Dr. Pizza can’t be your real name.
On Saturday night, the fine folks at Lincoln Hall are celebrating the music of the Beastie Boys. How, you ask? With a lineup of live DJs and a performance by the inimitable all-female Beastie Boys tribute group, She’s Crafty. Bet you’re glad you asked.
The Air and Water Show and the Great American Lobster Fest are both this weekend. A word of advice: do the latter. They’ll have live New England lobsters and reggae music, as well as unbeatable views of the Air and Water Show. Two birds. One stone. Goodbye.
