FROM PERKS

            Live Your Best Summer in These Camp Collar Shirts

“Summer vibes.” Not the most definable phrase, but you know it when you see it. Take these short-sleeved camp collar button-ups from Tee Ink that come in vibrant colors
and patterns, for example. They’re what you should be wearing when you’re living your best summer life.
Skinny-dipping aside.

Thursday

THE SAN ALSO RISES

            Ramen-san Brings Its Many Talents to the West Loop

Ramen-san has opened on Green Street in the West Loop with new bowls and new libations. Try their Spicy Yuzu
with smoked chicken, or their Japanese Katsu Curry ramen. Then try their tropical cocktails like the
Capri-San that’s super pineapple-y. Repeat as necessary.

Friday

SEEING VIOLET

            Revival's Monthly Pop-Up Series Continues. Next Up: The Violet Hour.

On Friday evening, Revival Food Hall will transform into the Violet Hour, complete with the swanky
speakeasy’s candles, cozy furniture, absinthe droppers and of course, cocktails. That last part being the
important part.

Saturday

BEER HERE

            Beer, Sausage, Music, More Beer

This weekend, Chicago Ale Fest will feature live music, food trucks and over 200 craft beers. So yes, you’re
in for a grand time. Especially when you head to the “Impossible-to-Get Beer Tent” to sample wares from five
breweries that aren’t available in Illinois. Wares. So many wares.

Sunday

CAMP OF APPROVAL

            Adult Summer Camp at the Dawson. Sure, You'll Bite.

Campfire-inspired food. Bottled “bug juice.” Oversized hot dogs and fireside grilled cheeses. S’mores with
boozy marshmallows. Live music. Monthly cocktail classes. We could go on, but then you’d already know
everything that’s going to be happening at Camp Dawson. Close one.

Monday

ROOF POSITIVE

            You and a Date and Black Panther Under the Stars

Monday feels like as good a day as any to watch Black Panther on the roof of theWit. And other
movies on other Monday nights. It’s their new movie series and, yes, there’s gratis popcorn. Though we
probably had you at roof.

What Else Is New

ELECTRIC FEEL

            The Sleek, Futuristic Bikes of Summer

They’re completely electric, which means you won’t break a sweat on that commute to work. In
non-work news: Ibiza, a new comedy from producers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay,
is officially unofficially the funniest Netflix original movie to date. And speaking of
Netflix, here’s where we grade what’s coming to and leaving the platform in June.

Pearl Plotkin is often mistaken for an 89-year-old bubbie. Her favorite things include writing, doodling, live music and finding faces in inanimate objects. Not necessarily in that order.
