The weekend has Rahm on speed dial.
We know. Schaumburg. But you still occasionally find yourself there, knocking about among the umlauts of Swedish furniture on Saturday afternoons. Good to know that Lettuce Entertain You is debuting a sushi pub (using Stephanie Izard’s designers) filled with sashimi and yuzu margaritas to cap your travel adventure.
Summer has to start sometime. Hope Friday’s good for you. Trump’s Terrace has stunning views, lobster claws, pork belly sliders and punch bowls of dark rum and tropical juices, all illuminated by the soft glow of bamboo tiki torches. Try to pace yourself.
A fund-raiser with 23 different beers doesn’t need a lot of gimmickry. But if you’re tasting a robust Belgian, and a platter of bacon that happens to be chicken-fried... or caramel-dipped... or candied... or jalapeño’d... swings by, do the polite thing: eat as much as possible.
There’s just something about an old train station: the romance, the intrigue, the Amish. And let’s not forget the occasional mass congregation of wine vendors. This blockbuster event also offers DJs, photo booths and its own iPhone app—basically, all your usual wine-drinking paraphernalia.
You don’t mind rolling up your sleeves on a Saturday afternoon. Good, because you’ve got eating to do. There are 400 pounds of crawdads for you to work on—and once they’re gone, that’s it. The $4 beer might take longer to finish off.
