There’s still time to try the creative summer fo There’s still time to try the creative summer food options from @easystreetpizza on Devon Ave. in Park Ridge, not to mention a bevy of new cocktails to match the season. Hungry but maybe want to go a little lighter than usual? Their new giardiniera dip with warm kettle chips, chicken cesar wrap, fresh ground turkey burger or hot honey soppressata should do the trick. For drinks, try the limoncello spritz, watermelon mojito, Cool as a Cucumber gin concoction, or the tropical margarita with 1800 Coconut, pineapple and lime juices, and pomegranate simple syrup. They’re as tasty as they sound, believe us. Read more from our Did You Know section in the summer issue at TheRealParkRidge.com
