    I second the Kuma's suggestion for Lunch in the city. The burgers are out of this world.

    BTW, Lively isn't too bad of a choice but it doesn't blow you out of the water like Foremost or Binny's would. Still, a good place to run into and grab some beer on the run. I've found some good choices there (notably Zombie Dust, Gumballhead, other FFF offerings).

    ZD would be a bonus. Had it a few times. Would be nice to have it again.
    Is there a package store (fedex, staples, ups or anyplace nearby) that sell boxes?

    Last time I saw dust there was a couple months ago. He had it behind the counter. there should be a ups or fedex in that area with boxes. Binny's usually has wine shippers which work really well with bombers too.

    Back home the other day from an incredible trip to Chicago. Even I only had one full day to check out the craft scene if was totally worth it. We hit up Revolution, Logan Arcade, Wrigley Field, Goose Island Wrigley, Fischman's Liquor and Lively Liquor and Lou Malnalto's Pizza. Brought back several cans n bottles from Revolution, Half Acre, Pipeworks and Against the Grain. If I had more room I would of brought back more. Working on a trade to get a few that I couldn't find. Thanks again for all of your advices and tips. One note: When I arrived on Sunday it was pretty freakin cold. 37F!! WTF! lol. Great time.

    Glad you had a good time - how was GI Wrigley? I haven't been there since the re-opening.

    Also - feel free to PM if there is anything local from here you'd like me to keep an eye out for that you missed out on.
