Eat: Little Bucharest Bistro

Little Bucharest Bistro

Opened by the owner of the Continental Cafe in the same spot, LBB is the rebirth of his former restaurant, complete with the Romanian-made stained glass boxes that graced the old resto framing an onyx waterfall along the brick walls, but with a decidedly modern update on the original Romanian comfort fare. Highlights include shared plates like braised short rib goulash with truffled gnocchi and poached cherries, and cumin-crusted beef carpaccio with horseradish cream and onion rings, along with entrees such as a bacon-crusted pan seared whitefish with paprika butter sauce and sausage stuffed chicken thigh w/ olive oil poached tomatoes, recklessly stolen from their homes before they can lose their extra virginity.

Wear: Recession Gear

Recession Gear

Started by a Chi guy looking to outfit the world with tongue-in-cheek commentary on our little economic downturn, RG's busting out tees that tout your most recent occupation (Daytime TV), ask existential questions (a milky-styled Got Fired?), and even help you out in real estate with a "Will You Buy My House??" For-Sale flier that leaves room for your phone number, which serves the dual purpose of informing area females that you'll be going Dutch.
