"So you agreed to meet after work in River North, and it seems like you have only two choices: an expensive Big Night Out at a place like Chicago Cut, or a sceney sh*tshow full of tube dresses and platform heels. Luckily, there’s Centennial, a low-key spot with a great craft beer selection and interesting bar food. Many dishes have an Indian twist, like a pulled chicken sandwich with curry and yogurt, or the curried sausage crepes. The restaurant looks like the hull of an old ship, with lots of wood and metal, and the space doesn’t get crazy no matter how late you decide to stay. So you’ll definitely be able to hear your date when he/she compliments you on your restaurant choice at the end of the night." - adrian kane
