It's sad (and overwhelmingly heartbreaking) to say, but summer is shortly coming to an end (cue tears).  To ease your seasonal transitioning, we have a Cheeky list of things to do before the leaves start changing.  And when those leaves do (italics) start changing, make sure you're sporting one of our hand-embroidered Cheeky sweatshirts (they're brown and pink!).   If you order this month, we're giving you the discounted price of $30.  Click here for more info and to purchase the really cool hoodies.

We also highlight a few new places to eat this week.  Merlo la Trattoria just revamped their menu and brunch is always in fashion.

One of the things we're most looking forward to this fall is our Second Anniversary party!  Sticking to Cheeky tradition, we will be throwing a huge fete at Rockit Bar and Grill on October 20th.  Save the date for complimentary food, drinks, fun and general cheekiness - we want to thank you once again for supporting us through another year.  Stay tuned for your official invitation...

For Cheeky readers this week, visit the new M Burger (5 W. Ontario) and receive a complimentary vanilla, strawberry or hot fudge shake shake with the purchase of any burger now through September 3.  Per usual...code CHEEKY.

OneMan Chicago is this Thursday September 2nd, and we’ve got another Cheeky deal for you: 2 for 1 tickets to the main event. Click the ad to get yours.

And to always leave you in that summer spirit, check your boat-loving selves out on our 'Pics' page.  It'll remind you of warmth, boats, sunshine and margaritas when you put on your first fall sweater of 2010.

Cheekily,
