AS THE COOKIE CRUMBLES

            When Cards Against Humanity Meets Giant Fortune Cookies

Today, on this most whatever of holidays, give them the gift they really want: an oversized fortune cookie
hand-painted to honor the Chinese New Year and filled with a cheeky fortune written by the team from Cards
Against Humanity. It’s totally doable at the Bakery at Fat Rice. Super specific, but doable.

HUSTLE AND BOW

TRUE LOVE

            The Au Cheval and Katz's Deli Pastrami Cheeseburger Is (Almost) Here

What happens when two of the country’s finest meat-slingers join forces? Presumably, very long lines. Also,
a hybrid burger creation that combines the
cured perfection of Katz’s pastrami with the griddled goodness of an Au Cheval cheeseburger. It’s
available for two days only, so maybe get in line now.

CHEERS

            One Night at Chicago's "Conceptual Watering Hole"

Pink flamingos. Cutout bartenders. A young Bill Murray cameo. That’s just a taste of the Light Times Club, a
conceptual watering hole created by street artist Don’t Fret. But there was more than met the eye at the
former Logan Square pop-up bar, and one writer attempted to find out just what that was. Grab a conceptual
beer and take a look.

HARD PRESSED

            180 Different Ciders Under One Roof, Is All

180 bottles and cans of cider representing 13 states and seven countries. That’s what you’ll find at this
year’s Cider Summit in Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom. That, and a whiskey-filled cider cocktail lounge. And
you, in the middle of it all, just trying to live your best life.

PRIVATE PARTS

            These Are the Most Private Islands in the Universe

Go to them. Go to them now. Oh, and here’s a gentleman’s guide to grand romantic gestures, in case you had one planned for
later tonight. Plus: if you’re planning on seeing Black Panther on Friday, but have
no idea what’s going on in the world of Black Panther, this will make for a good primer.

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.
