This will take the sting out of dining alone: Trattoria No. 10 (10 N. Dearborn St.) has introduced Pranzo a Bar (lunch at the bar), a menu designed for single diners, available only at the bar. It includes a salad (choice of two) and entree (choice of three) for $14. No reservations; first-come, first-served. 312-984-1718.
Speaking of stings, and pain in general, check out the “Dom Perignon Menage a Trois” option being offered by reserve (858 W. Lake St.). The nightclub’s package includes three bottles of vintage Dom, plus fine truffles and Beluga caviar. All for $1,500. And if you can afford this, you can be our friend. 312-455-1111.
Or, for the same cash outlay, you and 49 friends can check out Pops for Champagne (2934 N. Sheffield Ave.), which will hold its Made in the U.S.A. Sparkling Wine Festival 7-10 p.m. Wednesday. No Dom, but for $30 at the door you get a glass, which you can use to sample up to 36 domestic sparklers, plus domestic artisanal cheeses from Great American Cheese Company. All this plus live music. 773-472-1000.
Two tequila dinners will be held 7:30-9:30 p.m. Wednesday and June 30 at Salud Tequila Lounge (1471 N. Milwaukee Ave.). A three-course menu will be served with several tequila flights and a special tequila cocktail. Cost is $35; reservations required. 773-235-5577.
