Crafter-morning @ Manny’s Deli

Saturday morning crafting at Manny's, the cafeteria-style deli on Jefferson that's been running since 1942.

How it works if you've never been: you go through the line with a tray, tell the carver what you want, and find a table. Get there, get your food, then find us — we'll have a table with more yarn on it than anyone else's.

Bring whatever you're working on, and come hungry. The portions are not modest.

This one's further north than our usual — Near West Side rather than South Side — so give yourself travel time. There's a free lot behind the restaurant, and the #12 Roosevelt Road bus drops you around the corner. Manny's opens at 8, so early arrivals have somewhere to sit.

Free to attend, no sign-up. Breakfast is on you.
