—Restaurant spotlight: If you’re looking to treat yourself, you could do a whole lot worse than The Drawing Room at Le Passage, 937 N. Rush. The lounge, which opened last November under Three Headed Productions, features contemporary American small-plate fare (courtesy of famed chef Shawn McClain) such as sumptuous sparerib ‘burgers’, delicious winter pasta and sinful lump-crab pancakes. However, it’s the libations that really make this place soar, from the complimentary ruby red grapefruit cocktails to the cheerful tableside drink experts (including Lynn House and award-winning chief mixologist Charles Joly) who explain everything about your drinks, including the libations’ histories. Then, you can go to the adjoining Le Passage nightclub and dance off those calories. Call 312-255-0022 or 312-266-2694, or visit www.lepassage.com.
