RIVER NORTH—Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab want to bake you a pie. With $29.95 and 48-hour notice, you can get a holiday pie (or one for any night of the week through the end of the year). Pie flavors include sweet potato pecan, pumpkin chiffon and old fashioned apple, among others, and $1 from each order will benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Call 312-379-5637 to reserve.

LAKEVIEW—You know what makes brunch even better? Bloody Marys, but when you get twice as much for for half the price it's even better. Spend $10 at Socca for $20 toward your next weekend brunch. It's that easy. [Zagat]
