Two restaurants Urban Burger Bar, 1578 N. Clybourn, and Sono Wood Fired,1582 N. Clybourn held a joint media opening Aug. 24.
Urban Burger Bar dazzled with chicken burgers accompanied with tomatoes, arugula and pesto aioli; and drinks such as the sinful cheesecake shake, topped with whipped cream and mini-Nilla wafers. The eatery also has salads and even a photo booth. See www.urbanburgerbar.com
Sono Wood Fired, as one might guess from the name, has an expansive list of wood-fired pizzas ( including one with mozzarella and a slightly spicy chorizo ) , pasta dishes, antipasti and wines.
