Thrillist Chicago
Wednesday January 5, 2011
The Playbook
Eat: Leopold
1450 W Chicago Ave, btwn Bishop and Greenview; West Town; 312.348.1028
A Belgian-inspired turn from the folks behind Witts, Leopold's narrow 100-seat dining room flanks a repurposed wenge wood bar with cream-colored banquettes and pendant chandeliers, while the semi-open kitchen cranks out moules frites, crispy veal sweetbreads w/ roasted mushrooms & sunchoke puree, and a caramelized fennel & onion/mustard spaetzle-sided smoked rabbit loin, probably still smoldering from all that humping.
They'll be rocking a big list of Belgian beers and more pending their liquor license in a week or so. In the meantime, bring your own and scope the menu.

Wipeout: Lady Caca Embroidered Toilet Paper
These fetching rolls of TP're hand-embroidered in Illinois with a variety of designs, from Presidential portraits (Kennedy, Nixon, Obama), to the cautionary "Emergency Roll: Use Only In Crisis", to the Johnny Cash-inspired "It Burns, Burns, Burns ... My Ring of Fire", a sensation that can Hurt so much that you feel like you're passing Nine Inch Nails.
There are many more options to roll with at their online shop

Down: Di Sotto Enoteca
200 E Chestnut, btwn Michigan and DeWitt; Gold Coast; 312.482.8800
Set up beneath their Chestnut St location and literally translating to "underground wine bar", DSE's the latest installment from the rapidly expanding Francesca empire, a dimly lit, cave-like small plates haven serving up Mediterranean olives, ricotta w/honeycomb, and Bruschetta Six Ways, the inevitable sordid result of the recent boom in food p**n.

Dates: All Signs Point Toward Chicago
From a local photog with a proclivity for capturing vintage neon signs littered all over Chicagoland, this 2011 calender runs from no-brainer institutions like The Aragon and Wrigley Field, to less-heralded landmarks including North Park's Stars Motel and Wolfy's, a hot dog joint that features a giant BBQ fork stabbing a wiener, an action many angry ex-girlfriends would relish.
There's also a treasure trove of other Chi photo goodness at their online shop

Cakes: Crumbs
303 W Madison St, at Franklin; West Loop; 312.263.6500
The renowned gourmet cupcakery's finally bringing its 50+ flavors (Apple Cobbler, Tiramisu, the Stern-inspired PB & chocolate Baba Booey) to Chi, and's celebrating its Friday grand opening at noon by doling out 1000 free cupcakes, meaning the only change you'll need to bring will be a bigger pair of pants.

Time to Save: Meister Watches @ JackThreads
Our cos-bro-nauts at JT're slinging two of the urban timewear concern's most popular handmade models: the stainless steel, composite-strapped Prodigy, and the rubber-banded, square-faced Chief, hopefully not named after Robert Parish, because if he could tell time he would have retired 5 years earlier.
Kick off the new year with loads of discounted gear from JackThreads.com
