SHIRTS OFF

Shirts on Sheffield Clears Out

After a long run of making sure you looked great from the waist up, Shirts on Sheffield is finally buttoning up for good. Its final weekend offers drastic discounts on dress shirts, polos and other ways to top you off. You won't find any pants though, so remember to wear them.

5-9pm Nov 19, 12-7pm Nov 20, Shirts on Sheffield, 2807 N. Sheffield Ave, 773-868-1600

VIN DE CITY

Beaujolais Nouveau at Cyrano's Bistrot

You refuse to choose between quality and quantity—and chef Didier Durand, the mad Frenchman behind this bistro, understands. To celebrate the annual popping of Beaujolais Nouveau, he's pouring five kinds of it and serving appetizers, cheese and Beaujolais-glazed desserts. Bons mots are on you.

$30, 8:30pm, Cyrano's Bistrot, 546 N. Wells St (at Ohio), 312-467-0546

DOWN SHIFT

Connect Pop-Up Shop

The winds of November are whipping, so the eco-smart clothier is bringing its down jackets and shirts, hats, scarves and the occasional trench made from recycled plastic to this Lincoln Park pop-up. If that doesn't warm you up, a few cocktails at the grand opening party should.

7-10pm, Nov 20, Connect Pop-Up Shop, 2130 N. Halsted St, 815-519-9499
UD - Gingerbread House Opening at Marriott

HANSEL SEEKS GRETEL

Gingerbread House Opening at Marriott

It's amazing what you can do with 1000 pounds of gingerbread, as this year's edible architectural masterpiece in the Marriott lobby proves. The theme is "Tea Party at the Tea Cup Castle"—but you'll be glad to know the "tea" being served is a $2 pint of house-made honey wheat beer.

ALPHABETICAL ORDERS

A-Z Beer Tasting at the Globe
