SUIT FIRST, APOLOGIZE LATER

            Indochino Is Here. Suit Up Accordingly.

The good people at Indochino just opened their first Chicago storefront, complete with “Style Guides”
armed with tape measures and fabric swatches. Which is just a long way of saying that you’re about to look
a lot better today than you did yesterday.

SAUSAGE FEST

            Introducing the Conceptual Street Art Barbecue

You’ve been to backyard barbecues. You’ve been to dive bars. You… may not have been to a conceptual
watering hole in the back of a butcher shop. Well, now’s your chance at this Old Style-and sausage-filled
pop-up curated by street artist Don’t Fret Art. First time for everything and all that.

POCKET ACE

            Jason Vincent’s Pasta Comes to Ace Hotel

Ace Hotel is here. Sort of. It’s not technically, officially open until September, but its restaurant
called City Mouse, with its cornmeal griddle cakes and housemade pastas, is now open for brunch and dinner
daily. Baby steps.

Sunday

BRUNCH OR BUST

            Hello, Ronero’s Bloody Mary Cart

If you’re doing it right, the most difficult decision of your weekend should be where to brunch. Ronero
recently threw its hat into the ring with a South American-inspired feast with a made-to-order crepe
station, queso fresco biscuits, a ceviche buffet and Bloody Mary cart. So that’s less difficult now.

            A Sean Brock Taco Party at Big Star

There are tacos, and then there are pig ear tacos made by the king of Southern cookery, Sean Brock. The
latter will be served at a one-day, no-reservations summer grill party at Big Star. Yes, the lines are going
to suck. Yes, the lines will be worth it.
