THE PARK Lincoln Park (North Ave between Clark St and Lake Shore Dr)
THE PICNIC 1 Juicy chicken and a side of creamy beet salad ($12)—sounds like a delicious dinner at Old Town Brasserie, but it’s actually available from its next-door to-go operation, the Brasserie’s Market (1211 N Wells St, 312-943-0540). 2 Linger over a box of rustic “corny lime” cookies (and chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin) from the Twisted Baker (formerly Twisted Sister, 1543 N Wells St, 312-932-1128). 57 cents each or $15.95/lb. 3 A picnic is the perfect occasion for a cigar (Ashton Magnum, $8.80) from Old Town’s Up Down Cigars (1550 N Wells St, 800-587-3696). 4 Make a DIY mint julep by stirring a sugar cube into a few ounces of Buffalo Trace bourbon ($25) from House of Glunz (1206 N Wells St, 312-642-3000), then adding some lightly crushed mint and crushed ice.
