Best Liquor Store |
The Liquor Barn, 8170 Golf Road , Niles , 847-581-0060.
Sure, EV1 is close and it delivers, but you're not going to find lower prices anywhere than at The Liquor Barn. Located just a few miles west of campus on Golf Road , it's a bargain-hunter's dream for beer, wine, cigarettes, hard alcohol and other party favors for a kindergartner's birthday bash. Plus, you can order online and dodge that annoying over-21 law. www.theliquorbarn.com |

Hair Cuttery, 1704 Sherman Ave. , 847-869-0814.
For a salon-like cut at a Great Clips price, the Hair Cuttery is the only game in town. Guys can get cutteried for less than $15, and that includes a tip for your "stylist," a decent cut and a massaging application of shampoo. Nowhere else can you eliminate the hassle of post-haircut itch for such an affordable price. |

Best Pretentious Haircut |
Art & Science Salon, 811 Church St. , 847-864-HAIR.
Prices start at $40 and scale up if you prefer to be cut by a "senior stylist" or a "master stylist." (Don't even ask what a visit to the "director" costs.) And good news, ladies: get your unibrow whisked away ($14 brow waxing) or your bush whacked ($45 Brazilian). |

Early to Bed, 5232 N. Sheridan , Chicago , 773-271-1219.
Early to Bed, located about 20 minutes from campus, is a woman-owned and woman-oriented (but guy friendly) sex shop. Searah Deysach opened it in 2001 to create an environment where women could feel comfortable to explore their sexuality, and by "explore their sexuality," we mean "buy vibrators." Early to Bed provides personalized and knowledgeable help to all its customers, male or female. Too shy to face a salesperson? Buy online at www.early2bed.com . |
