  2. Feliz Cumpleaños, Frida Kahlo July 6 is the birthday of the inimitable Frida Kahlo. We are definitely "Frida Freaks" celebrating her all month long! Celebrate the color, the strangeness, the wonder, and the beauty of Friday Kahlo with an item from our Feliz Cumpleaños, Frida Kahlo section featuring socks, pins, mugs, books, cards, and even lip balms.

  3. Happy National Bourbon Heritage Month In 2007, the US Senate declared September as "National Bourbon Heritage Month." We celebrate the versatile spirit that is the base for such venerable cocktails as the Manhattan, the Old Fashioned, the whiskey sour, and the mint julep. And while every month is Bourbon Appreciation Month around here, we raise a glass of bourbon (neat), and toast America's "Native Spirit" and the artisans who distill it. Cheers! 🥃
  4. Lucky #13 On a very hot summer day in 2005 we opened our doors in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood in the 4700 block of North Lincoln Avenue.

A lot has changed for us in those thirteen years; a new address, a holiday sock pop-up shop, 3 different presidents, a redesigned website, 2 World Series championships, 3(!) Stanley Cup Championships, 3 babies, many new dogs and cats...
  5. Happy National Piña Colada Day Yes, we like piña coladas. No, we don't like getting caught in the rain. Who does? July 10 is National Pina Colada Day! While we'll take any fruity, rum-filled, frozen beverage in a pinch, a homemade piña colada is just so much better than anything made from a mix. Here's our favorite recipe. 1/2 cup diced pineapple, frozen 2 oz. pineapple juice 2 oz. Cream of Coconut Coco López 1 1/2 oz. white rum 1 oz. dark rum 1 1/2 cup ice Blend together until smooth.

  10. In Defense of Chicago (Pizza) It is time for us to praise not defend all pizza. On his Netflixt show “Ugly Delicious”, Chef David Chang defends his favorite Dominos Pizza order to a skeptical food critic and Brooklyn pizzeria owner, but Chang still has no love for Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. I'm not sure why Chicagoans must always defend our pizza. Yes, it is really more of a pie—like that is a bad thing! Sure, it is a bit of heavy meal as a single deep-dish pie can weigh up to 25 lbs. And, if you can forgive the double ...
