Last night I took another stroll past the Nice Slice Pizza storefront and one of the windows was uncovered. I took this spiPhone photo. You can see things are progressing inside, but it still seems to be far from being ready.

Nice Slice Pizza Coming to Logan Square
January 11th, 2010 · 8 Comments
Near the end of our street, on California Avenue, there are a couple buildings that have been papered up and under construction for ages.. for the entire time we’ve lived in Logan Square. One is just north of Palmer and is where the rumored “fancy Sultan’s Market” is supposed to go. Meaning that the owners of Sultan’s, that everyone loves in Wicker Park, are supposed to be opening Masada, a sit-down middle-eastern restaurant. There has been very little visible progress on this project.
On the other hand, the other building right next to it, just south of Lyndale, has shown a lot of progress recently. This is where Lavanderia Moran, the Mexican laundromat, used to be. I assume this was somehow related to Taqueria Moran, our favorite taqueria, which is only a few buildings away. I don’t know why the laundromat closed, but if the taqueria closes any time soon we’re gonna have to go after someone. Love that place.
I never knew what was planned for the space, but the other day I saw some people drawing teaser cartoons outside of it and started doing my research.
Looks like it’s Nice Slice Pizza Bar, brought to you by the owners of Logan Bar and Grill (just a few storefronts up the street), Simone’s (in Pilsen), Northside (in Wicker Park), to name a few. It will be nice to have another nearby bar and restaurant, but you know, I’m not a huge fan of Logan Bar & Grill’s food. I’ll give Nice Slice a chance and hope they can make a good pizza. Especially if they serve pizza late night. There are very few late-night eats in Logan Square that we’ve discovered. Plus, another bar/restaurant nearby has to be good for our condo’s market value right?
FYI, Metromix says that an artist named Ryan Doherty is doing the cartoon teasers. Currently, the last strip has been painted over white. I assume a new one will be going up soon.
Now…. when is Revolution Brewery opening? That’s the one we’re REALLY excited for!

Celebrating with Wine, Cheese, and Pizza
November 13th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Triple XXX Cheese Flight :: Bin 36, River North, Chicago
Sauvignon Blanc vs. Chardonnay :: Bin 36, River North, Chicago
Anjum and I planned to take Aimee out for her birthday and Aimee insisted we also include my engagement, so there was a lot of celebrating to do last night! We walked over to Bin 36 and each got a flight of wine. Mine was the Sauvignon Blanc vs. Chardonnay flight.* We also shared the Triple XXX flight of cheese that included an American mozzarella, Brie, a goat cheese, Camembert, and one on the end I can’t remember. On the side we had apricots and figs and some truffled honey. Delicious, delicious, delicious. We need to do this more often!
Aimee and Anjum surprised me with a gift, which was a gift bag with a bunch of wedding magazines in it. It was fun to look through them, although I’m so not in a wedding mode yet. Someone needs to knock me on the head and remind me that when you get engaged then you have to plan a wedding. I think Dallas and I were just so excited to get engaged that when people immediately ask us when or where the wedding is, we have no answer just yet. But it was fun to page through and look at the different stuff. A lot of it is way more than anything we want, I think. One of the magazines was a destination wedding magazine and that was fun too.
Wild Mushrooms, caramelized onions, taleggio cheese, hazelnuts, truffle oil :: A Mano, River North, Chicago
Buffalo mozzarella oven dried tomatoes, basil pesto :: A Mano, River North, Chicago
Classic margherita: Tomatoes, basil & mozzarella :: A Mano, River North, Chicago
After our cheese and wine extravaganza, we decided we should probably eat some real food. Downstairs at A Mano they were having their $5 pizza night so we ordered a few pizzas and had a bit more wine. Great night! I need to go out with the girls from work more often!
*Note to self: Favorite wine of the night was the 2008 Domaine Des Fontanelles Sauvignon Blanc.
