THE BOYS ARE BACK
Two-for-One Halo Gift Cards
Amazing day-after-Thanksgiving sales are really no excuse for people to act uncivilized—let alone
look uncivilized. So when you buy one $50 gift card from the men's spa, you get another
free—and you won't even have to elbow an old lady to get one. Probably.

- 11am-7pm, Nov 27, all Halo locations, including 1655 N. Damen, 773-342-4256
DIRTY DRINKING
Patrick Swayze Flights at Tasting Room
We're not sure what's behind this cozy wine bar's tribute to the star of Skatetown, U.S.A., but we
think you'll like it. Among the eight themed wine flights is the To Wong Foo, with a glass of Dom
leading the pack—sort of like a champagne version of Ponyboy.

- $14-$30, now available, The Tasting Room, 1415 W. Randolph St, 312-942-1212
SNEAKERS
Puma Flagship Opens
Block 37—that long-awaited Loop mega-shopping complex—throws open its doors and among the early
residents is this multilevel shoe emporium, featuring Alexander McQueen and Mihara Yasuhiro
sneakers—and 30 percent off outerwear on opening day.

JACK'S BACK
Jack's on Halsted Is Revamped
Monica Lewinsky. IPOs. Screeching modems. We love the '90s as much as anyone—but that martini bar
thing is played out. So after 11 years, Jack's on Halsted streamlined the decor and simplified the menu, now
offering a dozen kinds of hamburgers—including a pulled-pork and jalapeño number that's very
2010.

- Now open, Jack's on Halsted, 3201 N. Halsted St (at Belmont), 773-244-9191
