OK, this just strikes us as funny: Playboy's April issue lists the top 10 steakhouses in America. Who comes out on top in Chicago? None other than Keefer's. Fair enough. But the meaty piece, written by Chicago Mag Senior Editor Jeff Ruby, says Keefer's represents a "A sleeker, more modern, more...yes, feminine steakhouse."

That's Playboy's emphasis, not ours.

Feminine? No wonder they loved it.

Speaking of Chicago Mag, if you haven't already, check out its must-have April issue listing the 21 best new restaurants. The most unexpected pick? Chef Dudley Nieto's latest, Xel-Ha. We say hell, yeah to that; the excellent, Yucatan-heavy menu deserves a bigger audience than it seems to have based on our visits.

Got a list of your own? Tell us your top 5 new restaurants in Chicago?

The wait is over! The Lollapalooza lineup has been announced. (Click here to read the entire lineup.)

Who are we excited about? Let's see: British soul singer Amy Winehouse, unconventional rockers TV on the Radio, dance party-starters LCD Soundystem (and yep, LCD fans, Daft Punk will be playing Lolla, too!) and reggae royalty offspring Stephen Marley. Kudos to organizers for bringing back Lollapalooza alums The Hold Steady, Cold War Kids, Soulive and Ghostland Observatory as well.

So what bands are you excited to catch at Lolla?

Sometimes, you've gotta have a deep-fried Twinkie at 3 a.m.We understand. Just don't go looking for one in Wicker Park anymore.

Swank Frank, beloved late-night purveyor of fried Twinkies and other not-so-swank post-bar food, has closed its doors, butcher-papered its windows and hung out signs announcing a move to Logan Square. Word is that Bank of America will take over the prime space in the historic Flat Iron building. Too bad we don't typically crave a new money market account at 3 a.m.

That's only the half of it. Next door at Filter, the comment box on the counter next to espresso machine bears a note with an ominous request: "Here at Filter, you're all family. So help us out and tell us if you would move with us to Milwaukee and Ashland? Love, The Filter Staff."

We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, what do you think? Are you ready to move south with Filter? Will Swank Frank be the same when you have to cab your drunk ass over to Logan Square for a fried Twinkie?

We've all heard the chatter about Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz saying he'd kiss boys, well, now The Advocate has an interview with the local rocker talking about his "big gay following."

Wentz even gives his home town a shout-out: "...I have a couple friends from New York and Chicago that are gay."

We bet we know just where they like to hang, too. We've been to Lakeview Broadcasting Company on at least two or three occasions (the spot celebrates its first anniversary this month, by the way) and spotted the bassist hanging out with his crew and/or DJing at this rock lounge, which draws a decent-sized gay crowd thanks to its Boystown location. It's a refuge to the rocker kids who'd rather rip out their piercings than camp it up to Ethel Merman videos down at Sidetrack.

In fact, the staff at LBC is outfitted with threads from the rocker's Clandestine clothing line.

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.
