No kidding, we've gone to the dogs.

W.C. Fields once said, “never work with children or animals.” We’ve decided to do the exact opposite. Beginning today,...

Jonas Friddle & The Majority TONIGHT at the Lincoln Square Summer Concert Series

Check out Jonas Friddle & The Majority TONIGHT at the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Summer Concert Series and stop by ENJOY, AN URBAN GENERAL STORE. We'll be open late until 9pm.

Lincoln Square Ravenswood Summer Concert Series Tonight featuring Jonas Friddle & The Majority 

Giddings Plaza - 4731 N. Lincoln Ave Thursday, August 6, 6:30pm-9:00pm 

Chicago-based band Jonas Friddle & The Majority, who met one another through Windy City institution The Old Town School of Folk Music, take full advantage of their city's rich and diverse musical scene on their third album, Use Your Voice. The seven-member group plays what they've come to describe as "orchestral folk," along the lines of Joy Kills Sorrow or Lake Street Dive, incorporating trumpet, trombone, drums, and keyboard alongside traditional acoustic instruments. The result is an irresistible.


Concerts run from 6:30 - 9:00pm every Thursday June through August. For the entire Summer Concert Series Line Up, click here for the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce site.

The #1 Reason We #ENJOYChicago is... LINCOLN SQUARE

The #1 Reason We ‪#‎ENJOYChicago‬ is... 

LINCOLN SQUARE

Call us homers, but we love Lincoln Square. From its namesake president to its German heritage to its ever-evolving culture and endless list of things to do, eat, drink and celebrate, Lincoln Square offers the best of what we love about Chicago—a small town main street in the middle of a major metropolis. ENJOY opened 10 years ago in Lincoln Square. It was where we wanted to be and where we wanted grow. And we still ENJOY it.
We ENJOY Lincoln Square!

Reason #2 - The Food


The city’s ubiquitous deep dish pizza, caramel popcorn, hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches are ubiquitous because, well, they are delicious! But what makes Chicago a true food town is less about what we eat but how we eat. Chicago LOVES food, CELEBRATES food, IDOLIZES food—and rarely (with the exception of foie gras) do we vilify food. A city that devotes an entire festival to bacon knows that good food (even if it is not always good for you) is great. 

Take a moment and think of a cuisine you’d like to eat–we bet you can find it in the city. In fact, you can taste the world without even leaving the neighborhood. But if you do venture out, you’ll find almost anything you’d want to eat. It is the #2 Reason We #ENJOYChicago.
