You'd have to inject us with Bird Flu and then tie us to a lamppost to keep us from Dose Market. Sound ridiculous? So is Dose. In a good way, of course! The monthly marketplace changing the way Chicago shops is back for its second installment this Sunday, with a host of new vendors to tempt your taste buds and make all the clothes in your closet jealous. New to the market this month are a few delights we can't wait to check out. Bittercube will be in attendance, bringing six varieties of artisnal bitters for all you mixologist wannabes to play with. We're also looking forward to our soon-to-be obsession Unison, some of the cutest bedding, pillows, and tableware we've ever ogled. We're also hearing buzz about free booze. Before you think they're handing out free Andre all day, let us be clear: Grant Achatz of The Aviary (deep breaths) will be passing around free Thai-inspired cocktails from 10 a.m. to noon in celebration of Next's upcoming menu. Because, you know, you needed another reason to go.
Dose Market at The River East Art Center, 435 East Illinois Street (east of McClurg Court); 312-321-1001.
