NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: TARGET

HANK’S JUICY DEAL!
During the month of October, kids eat free after 3 p.m. at Hank’s Juicy Beef!

The Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches are made with grass-fed, antibiotic-free beef; the hot dogs are Vienna Beef; and there’s also eggplant parm sandwiches, cheesy garlic bread, beer, and wine from Macari Vineyards. Your kids will love it. Hank’s Juicy Beef—which also delivers—is open 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and after Columbus Day, 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. 84 Chambers, between Church and Broadway, hanksjuicybeef.com.
