THE PURSUIT OF PANTS

            Do This Sale for America

Winter is almost behind us, and you’re excited. Not only because of the inevitable return of the sun, but
because of the equally inevitable end-of-season sale at Americana-inspired outfitter Independence, which
means 40% off deerskin gloves, denim jackets and khaki chinos. America.

HIGHLY CAFFEINATED

            New-Coffee News. Get Your New-Coffee News Here.

In case you missed it, Big Shoulders continues its caffeinated conquering of Chicago with its fourth shop,
now open in the Gold Coast. Head .4 miles north and find yourself at the fifth Chicago location of La
Colombe, where draft lattes and La Boulangerie croissants abound. In conclusion: caffeine.

Friday

MAI TIME

            One Night of Painkillers at Revival Food Hall

This Friday will be the first one of March. Which is important because that’s when the First Friday pop-up
bar series kicks off at Revival Food Hall with guest bartenders from Three Dots and a Dash. The team will be
decked out in tropical shirts and shaking up Painkillers and Mai Tais. You will presumably be drinking them.

Saturday

BERE HERE

            Bridgeport's New Brewery Is Here, and It's a Stunner

Marz Community Brewing’s mural-covered taproom has arrived. For your drinking pleasure, pull up a stool to
the oval-shaped bar and dig into a tandoori chicken lavash while sipping on the Rooibos tea-infused brew
known as Jungle Boogie. That was your cue to rejoice.

Sunday

FRIEND OF A FRIEND

            Just a Perfectly Nordic Brunch

Soft omelettes with black truffles, yogurt-roasted sunchokes and smoked whitefish salad on rye bread. That’s
just how chefs David and Anna Posey do it at Elske. Or, how they will be doing it at the Elske brunch pop-up
at Avec. This will never happen again, though, so you should probably be there.

What Else Is New

Sarah Freeman is often accused of hiding secrets in her hair. She can make any cocktail, as long as that cocktail is a rye Old Fashioned, and has never met a saison she didn’t like.
