November 2015 – Squasht Boutique – Spotlight Feature

November 2, 2015 by Chi@glance

February is Black History Month! โœŠ๐ŸพThe Illino February is Black History Month! โœŠ๐ŸพThe Illinois Holocaust Museum is traveling back in time with the โ€œ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ต๐’†๐’ˆ๐’“๐’ ๐‘ด๐’๐’•๐’๐’“๐’Š๐’”๐’• ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’†๐’†๐’๐’ƒ๐’๐’๐’Œโ€ exhibition. The @IHMEC exhibition reveals how the handbook provided African American travelers with information on restaurants, gas stations, department stores, and other businesses that welcomed African Americans during the era of Jim Crow, including here in Chicago. 

The Motorist Greenbook was first published in 1936 for the growing African American middle class who had the desire and financial means to travel the country but were restricted from many of the resources and accommodations necessary. The Greenbook had over 180 businesses listed and nearly 80% of the listings were located in the Southside community of Bronzeville. 

The exhibition allows the viewer an opportunity to travel back in time through the perspective of the traveler with an immersive and participatory exhibit.

I absolutely โค๏ธ unique dining experiences! The @Mroomchicago (situated next to @Rokaakorchicago) is paying homage to the @the_macallan in a unique first-of-its-kind restaurant concept. 

๐Ÿฅƒ The High end drinking dining affair combines luxury pours of The Macallan with a tasting menu inspired by the whisky, making for an expert marriage of dish and dram. The tasting menu priced at $185 highlights the flavors and ingredients used in the Scotch whisky making process, including barley, yeast, oak, sherry and, of course, whisky.

Beverage pairings include craft cocktails as well as neat pours featuring The Macallan, utilizing hard to find whiskyโ€™s including The Macallan Rare Cask and Macallan Harmony.  Wine pairings are also available. The Macallan and wine pairing menus ring in at an additional $145 each. Iโ€™m sharing more details and my favorite pairings on the blog (link in bio).

Iโ€™m in NOLA! So EXCITED I tried a cuisine Iโ€˜ve Iโ€™m in NOLA! So EXCITED I tried a cuisine Iโ€˜ve never had before. I checked out @Dakarnola which offers a Senegalese tasting menu with a modern twist. Chef @Serignembaye_ menu is inspired by his childhood memories in Senegal. 

The menu highlights seafood from local waters and produced by farmers in South Louisiana. The multiple courses are served family style in homage to west African dining traditions. I can see why Chef Serigne Mbaye was one of the James Beard 2022 Best Emerging Chef finalists. Definitely add Dakar to your list when you visit NOLA! ๐Ÿ˜‹ 

Tip: Dakar is BYOB. Head to @secondvinewine_ to pick up a bottle of wine. Theyโ€™ll help you pick one that pairs perfectly with the menu. ๐Ÿท๐Ÿท
