FROM PERKS
You know those movies you’ve been quoting over and over since the dawn of existence? The ones you’ve watched way too many times? Well, we have a few posters from those classic comedies autographed by their stars. Stars like Will Ferrell, Mike Myers, Chevy Chase, Cheech… and Chong.
QUALITY TIME
Dox Quality Greek, a way-above-average, fast-casual new Greek spot, is now open in Wicker Park. Here’s how to use it:
1) For lunchtime pork shoulder pitas.
2) For casual dinners over chili-bourbon drinks and beef short rib kebabs.
3) For honey-habanero chicken wings.
The wings can happen whenever.
CHANCE OF MEATBALLS
Bar Roma is a rustic new Italian tavern in Andersonville. Outside, it’s terribly cold. Inside, there are five kinds of meatballs—including pork belly meatballs and lamb meatball sliders—plus Roman-style gnocchi and, once they get their liquor license, all kinds of Italian cocktails. In conclusion: inside > outside.
HOMEWARD BOUND
You: My friend needs a very last-minute place to buy gifts.
Us: Well, Jayson Home’s annual winter sale begins Friday, and they’re taking up to 75%
off a bunch of stylish furniture, cool antiques and vintage-y goods.
You: Thanks, I’ll let me know.
Us: …
You: Whoops.
LOSE YOURSELF TO DANCE
On Friday night, you’re corralling some friends and heading over to Beauty Bar’s Daft Punk Christmas dance party. It’s a Christmas party. With lots of Daft Punk. Where you dance. We probably don’t need to say anything more on the topic.
MIDNIGHT RUN
Option 1: Fremont’s Hollywood-themed affair, complete with a red-carpet entrance and
flowing champagne tower. Also: an open bar.
Option 2: The annual Voyager NYE, a futuristic party combining art installations,
projection mapping and live performances. Also: an open bar.
