No, no, not secretary--we mean administrative assistant. If you're looking for a place to treat someone, try Petterino's. Just tell your server that you're celebrating, and they'll give you a free chocolate "applause" cake dessert during lunch. What's applause cake? Well, it's kind of like a molten chocolate cake, but Petterino's calls it an "applause" cake as homage to its Theater District locale. But don't tell your assistant that. Let 'em think they applause is just for them! (You can also forget to mention that at lunch, the dessert's normally only $1.99 .)
Feeling a little smug because you’re not part of the tax-procrastination set? (Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone you only sealed your IRS-bound envelope at 3 a.m. this morning.) Even if you’re still sorting through forms to meet Tuesday’s deadline—-that’s right, slackers, the deadline has been extended—-you should treat yourself to a moment of relaxation today. Head to River North spot Zocalo for specially priced entrees ($10.40 and $10.99—get it?). Each dish comes with a cocktail pairing, thank goodness. If that's not enough, get $5 house margaritas, too.
