In the issue, Chow Bella contributor Dominique Chatterjee highlights must-visit restaurants (including Distrito and Brat Haus) and don't-miss watering holes (The Mint and Kazimierz). And our favorite funny girl, Laurie Notaro, quizzes pastry chef Country Velador and mixologist Richie Moe about their shopping habits.
