Description.
This weekend, you’re likely to get hungry. It’s likely to get late. Those things are likely to happen at the same time. Should you find yourself near your own refrigerator, by all means, start constructing a Dagwood. But more likely you’ll be near bars. Restaurants. Establishments that look to cater to you with oyster platters, steak frites and truffled
You’ve got no quarrel with wine bars. Mostly because they’re filled with wine. But there’s always improvements to be had. Like in the form of duck scrapple, crab butter and tobacco jus at Honeysuckle, a new Southern-ish restaurant that’s popping up for the next six months starting Monday in the wine bar at Prequel. (See the slideshow.) To get here, head
Espresso, an egg-and-cheese croissant and a loaf of bread to go. It’s fine. Coq au vin, calvados cocktails and a wine room full of portraits of Bardot and Gainsbourg. Well, that’s... finer. Here’s a place that does both of those. It’s called L’Hommage Bistro Français, and it’s a massive temple to classic bistro-ness in Mount Vernon Square. The café opens
Some places you get so excited about, you want to bring all your friends. You’ll need to refrain this time. Because they won’t all fit. It’s called Bad Saint, and it’s the diminutive Filipino spot you may have heard about, now open in Columbia Heights. This place is so tiny—just a few stools looking into the open kitchen, a few more at a counter
Everyone, behold the refreshed, new-look Redskins. Ugh. Or, on second thought, let’s just behold the refreshed, new-look The Source by Wolfgang Puck. It’s now reopened after finishing its first major overhaul in eight years. And it’s far more satisfying than the football team. (Whiskey carts and hot-pot tables will do that.) Let’s see how things have
This concerns beef. This concerns bread. This concerns beef and bread. Together, in sandwich form. This concerns a new sandwich shop called Beef ’n Bread, now soft-open in Chinatown from the guys behind Wiseguy NY Pizza down the street. There aren’t many frills here in this corner space. Just a few stools near each window, plus a communal table outside.
Good style is timeless. Doesn’t matter what we’re talking about. Chairs. Buildings. Phones. Your hair. On second thought, let’s talk about your hair. That matters. Especially since The Public Barber, a small yet mighty outpost filled with scissors, straight razors and decanters of brown liquor, is now open in Uptown. (Your slideshow’s right here.) At
A word problem: One train leaves Ogilvie for Kenosha at 4:36pm going 60 mph. An express train leaves Ogilvie in the same direction two hours later going 80 mph. Pulled-pork pot stickers? The answer to that totally senseless question lies in Madison Tavern—a casual new spot inside Ogilvie for lobster roll lunches, cider-and-vodka mule happy hours and
It’s the season of miracles. And that’s fine. You’re all for those. Particularly as they pertain to pizza. Because pizza miracles are the best miracles. Like the ones at Roots Handmade Pizza Lincoln Square, which, as the name helpfully suggests, just opened a Lincoln Square location on Saturday. (Here’s the slideshow and the menu.) Let us count its
Once upon a time, a boy from modest Chicago roots set out to discover the finest sandwiches in the land. Years later, he decided to use his knowledge to build a sandwich empire of his own. The end. Such is the tale of Pork & Mindy’s, the meat-centric brainchild of championship BBQer and all-around sandwich guy Jeff Mauro. It’s open today in Bucktown,
