The Playbook
Italy: Calabruzzi's Cafe
3302-04 S Halsted St, at 33rd; Bridgeport; 773.247.9999
A portmanteau honoring the proprietor's Calabrian and Abruzzian roots, CC's a rustic hideaway whose restored copper-finished tin ceiling shields specialties like thin crust 'za (tuna & white onion, potato & herb, sopressatta...), shrimp- & calamari-studded pescara salad, and handmade cannoli shelled with pizzelle, an Italian waffle that can never decide whether it has room for itself.
When the menu hits your eye, you're probably too close to the screen. Still, check it out.

Ballin': Baseball Time
From a national pastime-crazed Kenosha family, BT's fan-tastic home furnishings include baseball-adorned oak shelves and table lamps constructed from stacked balls, mini-bats & gloves (all arranged on a home plate-shaped base). They're also enhancing pregame celebrations with folding cedar tailgate tables fitted with baseball-shaped pegs for holding grilling tools, though once he's done cooking, it's probably better to just let Mr. Flay leave.
Take a swing through their online shop

Holey: Doughnut Vault
401 1/2 N Franklin St, at Kinzie; River North
From the folks behind the adjacent Gilt Bar, DV's a compact cash-only brick box slinging limited quantities of fresh-made doughnuts (old-fashioned buttermilk, chestnut glazed...), trios of cinnamon-glazed minis called Gingerbread Stacks, and dollar coffee that's French-pressed, also a weightlifting technique in which you give up at the very beginning.

Watch: Chicago International Movies and Music Festival
April 14-17th: Various locations, see website
Screening 70 films from 20 countries, CIMMF is a four-day showcase exploring the colliding worlds of film and music with such entries as Fix: The Ministry Movie, which takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Chi rockers; Keep It Moving, a story of three local hip hop artists' journey to the Ivory Coast; and Color Me Obsessed, dealing with the devoted fandom of The Replacements, and who can blame them when it's always on TBS.
There's an overload of screenings and live performances going down. Get the rundown at CimmFest.org.

Threads: Salmon Cove
From a couple of Chi-sters who ditched their financial gigs to enter the clothing game, SC's classic casual apparel focuses on 100% cotton tailored-fit polos, Merino wool quarter-zip sweaters, and button-downs like the blue checked barrel-cuffed Monterray, which looks so good your roommate might try to jack it...as in steal it. Whatever, he'll probably do both.
It's a total lox that you're going to check out SalmonCove.com
