Weekend is as weekend does.
You expect your pocket squares to be soft pieces of fabric with unique patterns. You don’t expect them to be made from internationally sourced linen with an edge crocheted by hand. Which means you’re in for a great surprise in a minute.
Autumn: Hi, I’m here.
Peter Field: Hi, my master tailors have a new retail-focused pop-up at Block 37, featuring
our handsome pocket squares and wool ties, plus American Trench socks, Pratt & Hart gloves and quick
alterations for walk-ins.
You: This is about my new fall wardrobe, isn’t it...
Friday night, you’re going to a near-century-old mansion in Logan Square to watch a demonstration from an internationally renowned lockpicker, enjoy some burlesque and imbibe classic drinks from an open bar. All while wondering what someone has to do to become an internationally renowned lockpicker.
In the 1800s, Germans brought their brewing methods to Mexico. On Saturday, Rick Bayless is paying it forward with an Oktoberfest party at Cruz Blanca, where they’ll showcase their new lager alongside Strasbourg pretzels, live polka music and bratwurst tacos. Bratwurst tacos: it’s an Oktoberfest miracle.
2Twenty2 Tavern grand-opens on Saturday in the Loop. On weekends, you’ll have a new late-night lounge for live music and aged-in-house whiskey drinks. On weekdays, you’ll have an after-work hang replete with whiskey-glazed wings and whiskey-glazed donuts. Either way: whiskey.
Chefs Stephanie Izard and Paul Kahan have teamed up to bring you the first-ever Fulton Market Harvest Fest. There’ll be food from the likes of Au Cheval, the Publican and Duck Duck Goat. There’ll be music from JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound. There’ll be beer. And there’ll be no excuse for not going.
