Start the New Year with Bracing Bloody Marys

New Year’s Day and not-feeling-so-great-the-next-day go together like peanut butter and jelly, and if there’s one popular remedy, it’s the Bloody Mary. Incidentally, January 1 also happens to be National Bloody Mary Day. Considering the mass of Bloody Marys on menus around the city, Chicago is a great place to be on New Year’s.
