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: Buenos Aires Forever
The Spot: Don't let the Spanish-speaking regulars or the slightly Spartan atmosphere deter you from checking out Buenos Aires Forever: Servers speak perfect English, and the ease-and aromas-of this spot on the border of Noble Square and East Ukrainian Village will soon draw you in. The price-$1.99-of the empanadas seems to make them even more golden and flavorful; we particularly like the onion, creamy corn, and ham and cheese varieties. If empanadas aren't enough to fill you up, try the ultra-rich broccoli soup ($2.99), or go for a full entree, such as the popular milanesa, a dish of breaded, fried beef with fries ($10.90).
The Bottle: Don't let the occasionally locked door of Esmael's Food Mart (935 N. Ashland Ave. 773-252- 0644) deter you either-the shop's probably open, just knock. Beer seems the perfect match to the soccer-watching going on at the restaurant. Keep it simple with a six-pack of Corona. Tip: Bring your own li mes, or risk substituting the lemons the restaurant has available.
