This week’s issue features our second annual guide to 24-hour dining on the South Side. Last year’s guide is also worth checking out, in particular Austin Gross’s review of Kevin’s Hamburger Heaven. This issue we also reported on the Shrine, an African-themed club/music venue in the South Loop run by nightlife impresario Joe Russo. New Pilsen restaurant Abuelo’s serves some of the best Mexican food I personally have ever had. Japanese-Czech puppeteer Nori Sawa comes to Hyde Park this weekend for a performance and two shadow puppetry workshops. Famed jazz musician Joe McPhee stops by the University of Chicago campus for a performance at Bond Chapel before appearing at the Umbrella Music Festival. And Hyde Park’s Sacred Harp singers performed their style of shape-note music last Saturday.
