North: We’re going all the way to Pilsen?
South: It’s not ‘all the way to Pilsen’, just Pilsen. You wanna get really South, we can go scope out Beverly. Now, the show starts at 7 at Dvorak Park. That means we’ve got time to get goat tacos at Birreria Reyes de Ocotlan.
N: Yum, goat.
S: Yeah, there’s like three things on the menu and it’s all solid. Best red salsa I’ve had in forever.
N: Yum, goat.
S: Yeah, we’ll have to walk it off a bit, so we’ll scope out the murals on 16th street. They stretch from Western Ave to Halsted, so there’s a lot to see.
N: Cool.
S: After that, we can either go to Harbee’s for some banging micheladas-
N: Micheladas are…?
S: A Mexican beer, usually Tecate or Modelo with a little salsa, lime, and ice, in a beer glass with a salted rim. Or we could go hang with the cool kids at Punch House.
N: I hear it look’s like a dad’s basement.
S: You don’t know anything about my dad’s basement.
N: Uh, ok.
S: Or we could go traditional and get a frozen margaritas at Perez Restaurant.
Sometimes, on a special night, there’s a woman singing Juan Gabriel’s hits with a tiny karaoke machine.
N: Sounds like we’ve got a good night ahead of us.
S: Yeah, let’s go!
They jump on their bikes and head South.
Curtain.
