On Saturday, March 9th, Schorsch Village hosted its annual St. Pat’s
party. A real special thanks to Joseph’s Meat Market for providing the
corned beef which, as usual, was fantastic! Also, a special thanks to
John (Beans) Turay, who once again knocked it out of the park in the
preparation of the corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. The
word must have gotten out because we had our biggest turnout ever
with 99 coming to join in the Irish Spirit!

The November issue of Chicago Magazine ranked the 25 best pizza
restaurant/bars in Chicago. While 24 of the 25, were either downtown,
near Westside or near Northside, there was one on the Northwest Side…our own Frank’s pizza on Belmont.
“Frank’s doesn’t get the love that some of Chicago’s other classic tavern-Style  spots do, and that’s a shame as it serves a model version. Started by  The Pianetto family in 1952 and owned by the Prosio family since 1968, Frank’s has      had the same recipe all along. The crust is crisp and paper thin and perfectly dressed every time. Our favorite, Frank’s Special, comes with onion, mushrooms, green peppers, and an excellent house-made Italian sausage.”
Congrats Frank’s!
