Happy day after Labor Day. Or, more appropriately, summer’s-over-hope-you-had-fun-because-the-cold’s-coming-soon-take-cover day.

It may be September, but we’re not giving up hope just yet. Perhaps reliving some of the great things from August will help us keep that summer fun going straight into fall. Or at least we can hope.

Here are some of my favorite things from the past month — enjoy.

Chicago’s Green City Market  | Focaccia from Eataly Chicago
Moloko Milk Stout from 3 Floyd’s | Ben & Jerry’s Core Tour
