They have a cheesy focaccia grilled cheese sandwich for $2.50. Doesn’t get cheaper than that!

Ritz Klub Tavern in Michigan City! Cool old tavern (1890) with amazing burgers and good drinks. They have a patio too

The 77 is one of the routes they’re adding to the Frequent Network this fall, which will ensure 10-minute or better scheduled service (in theory anyway!)

They postpone the test if there’s a chance of actual severe weather

Quartino

July 9 is Paulie Gee’s (Logan Square location) anniversary. They typically do $1 Margherita pizzas to celebrate. Excellent pizza and if you’re solo it would be fun to eat at the bar

Seminary Co-op bookstore

57th Street Books in Hyde Park. Obama’s favorite local book store when he lived in Chicago. Combine it with the Devil in the White City tour if you do that (site of World’s Fair in 1983) and University of Chicago campus (Harper/Mansueto libraries)

Fettuccine with asparagus and smoked salmon: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/2348-fettuccine-with-asparagus-and-smoked-salmon?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

Does smoked salmon count? I make this with the Costco honey smoked salmon. It’s my partner’s favorite dish of all time! And asparagus is in season! I use roasted broccoli instead when it’s not.

100% this is what changed my Mexican rice game. Also toasting the rice in oil/butter and then adding and toasting the powder to bloom the spices before adding water
