The Playbook
Eat: Real Kitchen
1433 W Montrose Ave, at Clark; Uptown; 773.281.2888
From a cooking crew that's notched time at Charlie Trotter's and North Pond, RK's snug bright storefront blends made-to-order sandwiches (pork belly BLT's, olive salad-smeared muffalettas…) with ready-made take-home treats including fresh pasta, tubs of Bolognese, artichoke/spinach/mushroom lasagna, and seasonal fruit tarts, which are always showing their apple bottoms.
See what's cooking at RealKitchenChicago.com

Save: DrinkOwl
Designed to direct you to the nearest hooch special, DO's a geomapped website/mobile app that identifies standing deals at local watering holes, with tags breaking them down into beer, wine, liquor, mixed drinks, and the mysterious "others", though indulge too much in any category and you're likely to end up Lost.
Check where you should be drinking at DrinkOwl.com

Slice: Uptown Pie Company
1319-21 W Wilson Ave, btwn Malden and Beacon; Uptown; 773.334.5450
The folks who brought you the Cupcake Gallery have gotten into the pie game, rolling out a rotating selection of crusted creations both sweet (lemon chess, sugar cream, chocolate peanut butter), and savory, from chicken pots, to quiche Lorraines, to lobster shepherds, who must remain vigilant lest their herd be attacked by wolfish.
Get the full array of pie possibilities at UptownPies.com

Gangster: Assault
The boys at Assault have just unveiled five locally designed ltd ed tees inspired by 1930s gangland Chicago, including "This Is My Town", featuring a zombie-esque character mowing down a crowd with a tommy gun; "The Reckoning," a Frank Miller-styled number focused on a bloody-soled gangster leaning against a streetlight on a snowy night; and a collage of noted Chi landmarks/ signage laid over a Prohibition-era city map dubbed "Northside vs Southside", despite the fact that watching the Cubs play anyone is intolerable without alcohol.
They're only printing 50 of each shirt, so make sure you snag yours at AssaultShirts.com

Fiesta: Fogon
1235 W Grand Ave, at Ogden; West Town; 312.421.2000
Decked with floor-to-ceiling windows, a black granite bar, and white tablecloths, Fogon is serving up modern riffs on Mexican classics like lobster empanadas with sun-dried tomato pesto, roast chicken & poblanos in spicy peanut sauce, and three-cheese chile rellenos w/ Mexican zucchini and squash blossom, which given the flagging ratings didn't make anyone say "whoa!".
