What restaurant’s lounge flaunts these stunning soup-ladle-esque coat hooks?

When it comes to the “Mystery Spot” posts, it’s been brought to my attention that they’re either too easy or always on Chicago Avenue. I say, why not take a guess either way for a chance to guest blog like Justin Hall of Fig Catering (whose blog post will run this week). Other guest bloggers in the pipeline include 2008 Gen Art Fresh Faces in Fashion winner and repeat blogger Tonia Kim of Toki Collection for guessing the Flo mystery art correctly, and Jill Blacketer, the Chicago correspondent (aka, Cupcake) from Toronto-based foodie Web site broccoliandprosecco, who was right on for the Five Star mystery sign. Look for both their posts in the coming weeks, and get guessing for your own chance to write an Elizabite.

These days, even a No. 2 pencil seems retro. Anyone know which restaurant displays this collection of old-school pencils?

In a guest bloggin’ kind a mood? Be the first to guess the name of this bar.

Congratulations to Justin Hall of Chicago-based FIG Catering for guessing last week’s mystery sign post. The answer was Feed, 2803 W. Chicago Ave., 773.489.4600. Look for Justin’s guest blog post on one of his favorite Chicago restaurants in the coming weeks.

I’ve given you mystery doors, murals and mirrors and nary a reader has ventured a guess. It’s the times of a sign. Does anyone know what Chicago restaurant this weather vane points to?

If you live anywhere near Wicker Park, this one was pretty obvious. But nobody revealed last week’s mystery mirror post. Scene of a particularly fun birthday bash of my past and home to some pretty tasty late-night fish tacos, Rodan at 1530 N. Milwaukee Avenue is where you’ll be transfixed with your trippy reflection. More trippiness ensues on the back wall of the bar/restaurant nightly.

Which Chicago bar has a bathroom mirror that offers a digitally enhanced reflection? First to answer correctly wins a guest blog spot.
