[drink] Signature Drink – Yogi’s

Drink: A shot of Dr. McGillicuddy’s peppermint schnapps and a can of Natty Light
Price: $3 for the shot; $1 for the can
“What can I get for you, baby?” I knew my night was off to a great start with this greeting from our server at Yogi’s, 2804 S. Seneca. This south side bar lives in infamy as the place the car ran into last December, so I was excited to experience it for the first time.

[eat] Doc’s Steakhouse

I first heard about Doc’s Steakhouse a year ago, when one of my fellow teachers suggested it as our lunch destination during inservice. The conversation went something like this:
Teacher: Hey, want to go to Doc’s Steakhouse for lunch?
Me: Oh, you mean Doc Green’s?
Teacher: (Hysterical laughter) No, definitely not Doc Green’s. Doc’s Steakhouse.

[drink] Signature Drink – Poetic Justice

Drink: Black Forest Latte (made with cocoa, white chocolate and raspberry)
Price: $3.50 for a small, but it was happy hour (every day from 2-4 p.m.), so I got this tasty treat for $1.75!

The atmosphere is nice, with lots of artwork on the walls and a big comfy couch and the gentleman working behind the …
