MOVING ON UP
The Allis, Then and Now
Then: It was the classy café-cum-cocktail-bar on the ground floor of Soho House. Now: They’ve expanded to include a loungey upstairs mezzanine space. Then: You’d mainly come for pre- or post-dinner drinks. Now: You’ll also come for wood-oven pizzas and sausage-and-porchetta egg
sandwiches. Then: Had a nice run.
Tomorrow night, Sportsman’s Club is teaming up with Gibsons to host a backyard cookout. You’ll get a
bone-in filet, some shrimp, a toasted-quinoa salad and a pillow cookie (basically, a chocolate chip
cookie/brownie mashup). You’ll also receive a well-crafted martini. All for $20. Nothing about this is
even remotely un-great.
Friday

Sunday
ANY GIVEN SUNDAY
PQM Is Handling Your Next Tailgate Spread
Matt Forte is gone. So is Robbie Gould. But at least you have Publican Quality Meats. See, said deli is now
delivering you immaculate game-day spreads for as many Sundays as you please, populated by things like
jalapeño-cheddar brats, harissa-marinated potato salad and warm pretzels. You can also upgrade for
Revolution beer. Not that you would.
