Tasty Procrastination

Are you hopelessly behind in getting your taxes ready to file? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. And someone wants to help.

Certified public accountant, Martin Kamenski is celebrating the successful first year of his practice in Chicago. And in honor of that milestone, he’ll be setting up shop at two Wicker Park eateries this week to file instant, electronic tax extensions… for free!

On Monday, April 16th, Mr. Kamenski will hold court at Alliance Bakery (1736 W. Division) from 10 AM to 10 PM. (Mmmm, taxes, cappuccinos and croissants. Does it get any better than that?) Then, on Tuesday, April 17th, he’ll be across the street at Mac’s American Restaurant (1801 W. Division) from 10AM to the deadline for individual filing at midnight. (Mmmm, taxes, burgers and beers. I guess it does get better!)
