The weekend watches for the commercials.
PERK ALERT
Lingerie, Ecstasy and Private Polaroids
Your Valentine’s Day toolbox is now well stocked with supplies from the love experts at
Jimmyjane. We’re also making sure you have at least twice the usual amount of lingerie on hand for the occasion and a two-hour
private Polaroid
session where someone can... display it.
REVERSE COMMUTE
2941 Returns... with Duck Burgers
After a New Year’s face-lift, this destination restaurant is back. Sit in the lakeside dining room and
order fettuccine with lobster, cuttlefish and octopus carpaccio. Or sit at the bar and sample duck burgers
with foie gras and Dark and Stormy desserts. Just like your favorite game—Duck, Duck, Rum.

SALE-ING
Up to 70% Off at I. Gorman Jewelers
Reminder: there’s a certain Hallmark-driven holiday coming up. Yes, you still need a gift. Preferably one
that shines. Enter this edgier-than-most downtown jeweler, whose winter sale happens to coincide with
Valentine’s shopping season. Probably not a coincidence.

HOAGIE’S HEROES
Taylor’s Late-Night Breakfast

cheese, even housemade beer cheese sauce. For dessert: breakfast risotto balls stuffed with sausage and
bacon. They’ll even deliver. In case you’d like breakfast to follow you home.

ROOF BALL
Watching the Super Bowl on a Rooftop
Unlike the fans in Indy this weekend, you’ll be enjoying the game outdoors, as El Centro D.F. adorns its
rooftop with a big TV, surround sound, heat lamps and all-night specials of $4 margaritas, beer and wine.
First one to say “Gronkowski” buys the first round.
