FROM PERKS

            56% Off Gloves Your Hands (and Phone) Will Love

It’s hard to find good gloves. Especially handcrafted, touchscreen-friendly ones made from things like lamb
leather and cashmere. Especially-especially these ones from Quill & Tine, artisan
crafters of rather stunning, rather phone-friendly gloves that you’ll need to get you through
winter. Which is too bad (for anyone not with Perks).

BOWL FOOD

            It's the Super Bowl. Eat Like It.

For some, this weekend will be an occasion to watch a game. For others, it will be an occasion to have
hearth-baked lasagna and maple-poached salmon sent to their doors from Roister’s new delivery service (which
is closed on Sunday, so order ahead). Or to indulge in Bang Bang’s Super Pie loaded with potato chips and
puppy chow peanuts. Food: check.

Thursday

WORK OF MART

            That One Korean Superstore Lands in Chicago

There are grocery stores, and then there are Korean superstores. The latter is filled with endless arrays of
international delicacies, plus kiosks serving Hawaiian-style katsu and poke bowls. It goes by the name of H
Mart, of course, and there’s finally one in Chicago-proper. So… hope you like Korean superstores.

Friday

CHAMPAGNE ROOM

            An Après-Ski Party This Way Comes

This party has Champagne gummy bears. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s elaborate on the Champagne
Powder party at Joy District. It’s an Après-ski soirée that will be filled with ice luges, shot skis and
also some less shitshow-y vessels. And we mentioned the gratis Champagne gummy bears, right? Good.

Saturday

TWO’S COMPANY

            Beer and Sandwiches: A Love Story

The Ruin Daily’s buffalo cauliflower sandwich is about to meet Hopewell’s Thank Me Later IPA. That match
made in heaven/Logan Square will be available for one day only when the sandwich shop pops up inside the
taproom. There’s your Saturday, basically.

Sunday

DOG DAYS

            Puppy Bowl. Super Bowl. Both.

Super Bowl Sunday is almost here, which means one thing: puppies. Watch Chicago’s very own Stripe compete in
the Puppy Bowl while you drink drinks at Park & Field and raise money for his adoption center. Oh, and
they’ll also have a bottomless buffalo chicken nugget-filled buffet if you’d rather watch some actual
football.

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.
