LOOP
Have you ever seen those old movies where the main form of
transportation is rail car? If you've
ever wondered what it would be like to have that experience, Pullman
Sleeping Car Company invites you to join them for an inaugural
trip. For three days only, February
17-19, Pullman is set to launch a first-class rail travel project scheduled for
late 2012 with overnight services from Chicago to New York City and New
Orleans.
OLD TOWN
Flight 1551, a snug Old Town
dispensary of obscure little wines and hearty comforts, now open. Three words.
Three little words. Syllables, really.
That's all it takes. Say them once, and your date will turn to putty.
"Grilled cheese flights". It's also a wine bar but with this extra special twist,
it's sure to delight!
EVANSTON
This past Monday, aldermen will be asked to approve an
increase in the annual production limit for Few
Spirits, Evanston's only micro-distillery. Owner Paul Hletko says business at the
distillery is going better than expected but Evanston's liquor ordinance needs
to be amended to make the new, higher cap on production for micro-distilleries
effective in Evanston.
