| A sweet early morning surprise for my boyfriend |
This Easter, we strayed from our normal
family-oriented holiday routine and took advantage of the emptied-out city to
accomplish a few things that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do. We’ve
been meaning to check out Stephanie Izard’s The Girl and the Goat ever since we
received a gift certificate over a year ago, but getting reservations seemed
impossible. After much strategizing, and with no reservations in hand, we
decided to take our chances and boldly wander in on Sunday afternoon after the
Book of Mormon show concluded. We were immediately seated and treated to
a rustic series of dishes that truly lived up to the hype that the restaurant
has so clearly earned. Other highlights of the holiday weekend included…
 |
| Lunch visit to Quonset, the best pizza shop in the northern suburbs |
 |
| Clever advertising in the entryway at Bank of America Theater |
 |
| Party favors for an opening day game party |
 |
| Lusting after chicken wire-clad pendant lamps at Jayson Home & Garden |
