FROM PERKS
Lessons learned from your holiday travels: 1) Limit two eggnogs per grandmother. 2) It’s time to get a new suitcase. Like this perfectly sized, zipperless carry-on. It opens via roll-top, glides easily on 360-degree wheels and has a battery with two USB ports, plus GPS so your bag never disappears unannounced. Unlike Grandma.

FIELD REPORT
Park & Field is a handsome lounge in Logan Square with chesterfield tables and turn-of-the-century sporting memorabilia where you can watch the game, eat short rib pot pie and drink good beer. So if you thought Logan Square was all cocktail bars and dives, well… take that?
BY GEORGE
There are few better ways to honor the late, great George Michael than by corralling some friends and making for Elbo Room’s George Michael music video dance party this Saturday. Actually, no better ways.
BAH NONE
You made a New Year’s resolution to enjoy more great brunches in 2017. Therefore, you should go to Oyster Bah this weekend. Their new one’s got everything from fried-oyster benedicts to cereal-crusted french toast to jumbo-shrimp-laden Bloody Marys. Now, on to those other resolutions…
STAR WARS
On Sunday, the brightest stars in Hollywood will convene for the Golden Globes to receive awards and drink copious amounts of champagne. Meanwhile, you’ll be watching at Carbon Arc at the Davis Theater, eating truffle popcorn and drinking copious amounts of champagne yourself. Should be a pretty good night for all parties.
