We’re writing you a prescription for the weekend.
This week, you’re stocking up on wearable handsomeness from Kent Wang’s online haberdashery (where you’ve got an extra $50 for polos, cufflinks and more). Also: 30% off incredibly tough jackets from Nau and 40% off a new pair of winter shades. ’Cause squinting never looks good...
Before you trek off into the wild yonder of holiday shopping, check out this new little-bit-of-everything pop-up event. It offers cool clothes from Sir & Madame, homebrew equipment, food from Publican Quality Meats and a photo booth that lets you make holiday cards. So wear your best Santa suit.

That Edzo’s Burger Shop you’ve heard so much about... That you drove to Evanston to try... The one about which you said, “I’m glad it’s in Evanston because I’d get so fat thanks to that Nutella shake”... Well, it’s closer. And the shake has been asking about you.
