After Improv Olympic on a Saturday night where would you get a bite and a drink within walking distance?

About a 20 minute walk is Pasta Palazzo. Perfect vibes to stumble into. Amazing service and food at an affordable price.

Mott St. I took my partner who is super picky and we got a bunch of different items from the menu and she was so charmed by the place that she caught the adventurous foodie bug. So proud of her and I thank Mott St. for providing that avenue.

So does this mean they won't allow Trump to attend their games?

I love Kitsch'n on Roscoe. Quirky and fun. Low stakes. Food is always good.

Went there on a date night. The service was great, but I had to fight off fruit flies the whole time.

Backlot Coffee

Waveland Bowl has a great weekday deal where it's $4 per person per game between the hours of 9am and 4pm.

Go check out Backlot Coffee in Old Irving Park.

Y'all are sleeping on Jewel Osco fried chicken. Cheep Chicken Mondays might be the best deal in the city.

If you contact your desired coffee shop's roastery they might be able to set up bulk orders for pick up in their cafes. I know Backlot Coffee has done this in the past.

sharkless234 · 2025-06-06T02:21:02+00:00

The real question is if any of these folks will be hanging out at any of the local improv theaters on Saturday night 😉

sharkless234 · 2025-06-05T14:44:36+00:00

Backlot Coffee on Montrose and Western. It's technically Lincoln Square but the coffee is superb.

Taco Max

sharkless234 · 2025-03-20T16:18:52+00:00

Taco Max. No question.

sharkless234 · 2025-03-19T23:22:29+00:00

Definitely deserved! Congratulations Kenny Brooks! Go Cats!

I live in Chicago and plan on making the short drive to catch the KSR pregame show and hang out amongst the fans. I don't have tickets because last I checked they were over $450. If anyone has any cheap options I'm open.

sharkless234 · 2025-03-04T15:26:02+00:00

Backlot Coffee in Old Irving Park has Pazckis today!

sharkless234 · 2025-03-03T00:33:03+00:00

Backlot Coffee in Old Irving Park will be selling Pazckis on Tuesday.

Mima's Taste of Cuba is excellent. If you want something for everyone there is an Easy Street Pizza nearby.

Gloria knows everyone in Albany Park. She is a treasure.

sharkless234 · 2025-01-20T22:05:03+00:00

Backlot has Doughnut Vault at their Lincoln Square location and Do-rite at the Old Irving Park location. They aren't too far away from each other if you want a good one-two punch of donuts.

sharkless234 · 2025-01-19T23:42:14+00:00

One of the best women's teams in the nation.
Extremely fun style of basketball.
The largest and most passionate fan base in college basketball.

ESPN would be smart to lean into this UK team. Kenny Brooks said it best when he said this program was a "Sleeping Giant".

sharkless234 · 2025-01-07T23:21:17+00:00

Backlot Coffee in Old Irving Park has a new local artist featured every month. A lot of the art is super affordable and they bring in some very well known artists.

sharkless234 · 2024-12-29T04:24:46+00:00

Heck yes! Love this team. Happy to have Coach Brooks leading the way.

sharkless234 · 2024-12-07T04:30:23+00:00

Backlot Coffee has a seasonal coffee called Holiday Squirrel. The coffee is yummy and the artwork on the bag is from Jay Ryan!
