Hi Folks,
Thank you for following my food blog. In attempts to diversify my writing, I am moving away from reviewing only restaurants in the city. Out in Chicago will feature reviews of various happenings around the city. Of course I'll continue to review restaurants in addition to other events. Thanks again and happy eating!

Stanley's Kitchen and Tap (Lincoln Park)
Stanley's Kitchen and Tap
1970 N. Lincoln Ave.
Chicago, IL 60614
(312)642-0008
www.stanleyskitchenandtap.com
Hello Stanleys. Located at the intersection of Lincoln Ave and Armitage, this place is sure to fill your watering hole and pub grub desires. Try the Drive-In burger, a heart stopping mess of your standard burger fare along with "Stan's Special Sauce."
I was lucky enough to unlock the frat bar badge on four square with a check-in at this joint. While it's a great family place during the lunch and early dinner hours, it has the potential to become absolutely fratastic after 7pm. Located within walking distance of the Lincoln Park Zoo, this place is a great alternative to RJ Grunts, which can often times be busy during the lunch hour rush.
Look for their daily specials. Meltdown Thursdays include a special grilled cheese menu which is sure to please.
Stanley's features a full bar and a good variety of seasonal brews on tap. Go for the Bell's Oberon -- it's light and refreshing. The perfect summer beer.

Northalsted Market Days (Boystown)
Get ready, get set, and go! The weekend of August 13 -14 brings Northalsted Market Days which is claimed to be the largest 2-day festival in the Midwest. Set in the heart of the Boystown neighborhood, attendees are sure to have their share of spectacular people watching, access to vendors (anything from knick-knacks to information booklets from local non-profits), and live music. This years musical acts include Gloria Gaynor and the always entertaining 16 Candles, a local cover band.
Northalsted Market Days can be crowded. Expect large gatherings especially at the music stages. If you want a shot at a decent spot, make sure to get there early. It can get hot, it can get sticky. For more information, visit their official website.
If you need to take a break from the 6 city block party (on Halsted St. between Addison and Belmont), there are plenty of dining estabilishments that are sure to please. There's the well established Chicago Diner, known for their vegetarian and vegan fare. The Center on Halsted, located on the corner of Halsted and Waveland serves as the neighborhood's main LGBTQ resource center.
