A Suburban Pizza Legend Sets Up Shop in Lincoln Square

            The World's Smallest Tactical Pocketknife

You know the old saying: good things come in small pocketknives. Or something like that. Well, good things
will definitely come of having the B-2 Nano Blade handy—it’s the world’s smallest tactical
pocketknife—and we shrunk the price down by 29%, too.

SLICK NICK

            A Damn Fine Suburban Pizzeria Sets Up Shop in the City

Since 1995, Nick’s has been cranking out crispy crusts topped with anything from taco fixings to three
different types of meat. And as fate would have it, the Crystal Lake pizzeria has just brought those
well-honed skills to Lincoln Square. Welcome to the big city, Nick.

Friday

GAME ON

            Goodbye, the Betty. Hello, Emporium Fulton Market.

It’s out with the old and in with the new at Fulton Market. The old: cocktail haunt the Betty. The new: the
forthcoming third Chicago location of Emporium arcade bar that comes with all the indoor street art and
canned beer you’ve come to expect from those guys. Which hopefully is a lot.

SLIDE ON IN

            Just a Turkish-Slipper Cocktail Party

Sabah, purveyors of fine Turkish slippers, is taking over the lobby of the Robey all weekend with a pop-up.
It kicks off Friday with a cocktail party, where you can drink gratis beer and be fitted for the new fall
line. You know your closet has been missing autumnal loafers.

Saturday

BEER HERE

            A Quintessential Fall Craft Beer Festival

BeerHoptacular returns for its seventh year to satisfy all your suds-related needs. It has everything you
expect, like a couple dozen local breweries and a handful of food trucks. Plus some new things, like the
Infusion Lounge featuring four beers infused with fresh ingredients right before your eyes. So that’s
different.

Sunday

DOUBLE DOWN

            Two Restaurants. One Massive Dinner.

Dinner of tuna poke and shrimp bruschetta at GT Fish & Oyster is nice. Dinner of steak tarter and Bigoli
pasta Bolognese at GT Prime is nice, too. Both dinners back-to-back is… better. A new, progressive,
11-course menu lets you eat at both sister restaurants in one night. Glad we could work this problem out
together.

What Else Is New

DEUCE IS WILD

            The Week in UrbanDaddy

ICYMI: How The Deuce ended its first season
as one of the best shows on television, Trump’s terrible week and the curious nostalgia
of Stranger Things.

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.
