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: Che Cafe
The spot: The rough wooden tables and chairs at this compact Little Italy spot look like a nice place to start a revolution-or at least debate U.S. politics while noshing on Cuban and Mexican dishes. (Yes, it's named for the Cuban revolutionary, Che Guevara.) Friendly service, low prices and its status as one of just a few BYOB spots in the area also make it a standout. Be truly revolutionary and order one of their numerous breakfast burritos ($4.99 - $5.99) in the p.m. hours - they're served all day. Or try freshly made dishes like the pork loin and French bread-based Cuban ($6.50), the chicken pesto foccacia ($7.75) or the well-stuffed chimichanga ($6.50).
The bottle: We love the idea of drinking a beer alongside our breakfast burrito - it's not often it's exactly socially acceptable. Just a block down from the cafe is Taylor St. Food & Liquor (1152 W. Taylor St. 312-666-0096), where you can grab a six-pack of Corona ($7.99) or Dos Equis ($7.99). But wine lovers needn't totally despair - a sign at the corner of Racine and Taylor proclaims "Wine shop coming soon." --Allison Knab, metromix special contributor.
