From noon to 6 p.m., Urbana’s $50 Pride bar package includes select beer, wine, and mixed drinks to go with unlimited pizza. DJ Trayze will select the music while “vice president” Mike Hot-Pence will be on hand to collect donations for The Trevor Project. Other festivities call for Jell-O shots and free rainbow ice cream cones." - Tierney Plumb

"House-cured gravlax crostini and monkfish picatta are highlights of executive chef Ethan McKee’s Christmas Eve seafood feast. He’ll also a sweet finish of a Nutella affogato and a mix of cookies. The modern Italian restaurant and wine bar is offering the special dinner on the 24th only, priced at $85 per person." - Travis Mitchell

"Urbana’s new beverage director Lauren Mathews has a gold creation starring on her debut cocktail menu. “The Face with a View” is a $13 riff on a Vieux Carre that’s named after a line from one of her favorite Talking Heads songs. It blends together Jack Daniel’s rye, Plymouth Sloe gin, Pasubio, Cocchi Dopo Teatro, and lemon bitters with a dash of edible gold that swirls in the glass." - Tierney Plumb

"For the month of November, chef Ethan McKee will be on hand to shave fresh, white truffle tableside on any dish on the menu for a $10 fee. McKee suggests sprinkling the delicacy onto speck, cipollini, and mushroom pizza or its spaghetti carbonara with duck egg. Or order tagliatelle simply dressed with butter, parmesan, and a generous dusting of white truffle for $30." - Tierney Plumb
