You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.
All bottled up: Atlas Cafe
The spot: Brightening up an otherwise nondescript corner of western Armitage Avenue with sunny red and orange walls and a friendly staff, Atlas Cafe's a nice place to take a break for sandwiches and wraps, salads or pasta. Fresh ingredients make picks like the smoked turkey wrap with avocados, provolone, red onions and tomatoes ($5.99) a good bet, and the meaty French fries (75 cents) are worth adding on as a side. Semi-international options include chicken Vesuvio ($9.99), kabobs ($9.99-$11.99), and veggie or beef empanadas ($2.99)
The bottle: Liquor store pickings in the area are scant. Head to Provenance Food & Wine, a nearby
gourmey grocery, to check out their extensive selection of Belgian beers-the very raspberry Framboise ($13.99) is a good springtime match for Atlas' sandwiches, but plenty of other choices are available. Note: Atlas charges a $1.50 corkage fee per person. And if you check it out on Saturdays, Provenance hosts a free wine tasting in the afternoon.
