  1. 'Fish Men' is at its best when chess is front and center

    THEATER REVIEW: "Fish Men" by Teatro Vista at the Goodman Theatre ★★½ ... I've watched amateur players get taken in Washington Square Park in New York and right here in con-loving Chicago. Speed chess is the game, and you have to watch your clock carefully, lest it get cleaned.
    Oxymoronic as the whole notion may seem, chess hustlers are one of the pleasures of urban life. I've watched naive amateur players get taken for hard cash by well-masked intellectual killers in Washington Square Park in New York, Harvard Square in...

  2. Reservations please

    Here's something you may not know about Open Table, the predominant online restaurant reservations system: When you book a table through the Open Table website, the restaurant is charged $1 per seated guest — so if you show up as a foursome, that's $4 off the restaurant's bottom line.

  3. The left, the right, the arts and dogs in lively 'Chesapeake'

  6. 2011 Holiday Guide

    Like the creeping tinsel at the mall, holiday shows in Chicago seem to start earlier each year. This season, it was “White Christmas” at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire even before the trick-or-treaters had ventured forth from their stoops. But bear in mind that theaters know how much Chicago audiences love their seasonal entertainments. If, like me, you're an urban romantic in love with the classic downtown experience, this is the golden time of the year, full of family members enjoying the arts together and cramming in a live show between busy days and nights of shopping, eating and merrymaking.

  8. Summer heat brings warm memories of seaside landmarks

    June in our family meant the beginning of summer treks to the beach, sometimes to little Wilbur-by-the-Sea, south of Daytona.

  9. CSO's Citizen Musician seeks right note

  11. For Obama, 2014 is his number

    WASHINGTON -- Thirty-one months ago Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell affronted the media and other custodians of propriety by saying something common-sensical. On Oct. 23, 2010, he said: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." He meant that America needed conservative change from the statist course of Obama's presidency (the stimulus, Obamacare, etc.), therefore America needed a president who would not veto such change.
