If you want to end this year in style, you still have some fine dining options:

-Topolombampo and Frontera Grill (445 N. Clark) will be serving a set menu of the year's most popular dishes complete with mariachi music.

-Girl and the Goat (809 W. Randolph) is offering a "Tour de Goat" in their private dining room ($195; email for reservations); you can also forego the eats for a special open bar with small bites and champagne at midnight (also $195).

-Red Door (2118 N. Damen) is teaming up with the folks behind Baconfest for Manhattans at Midnight, which doubles as a benefit for the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Your $100 tickets gets you appetizers and an open bar from 9pm-2am with special cocktails (and a midnight toast with Manhattans).

-Dusek's (1227 W. 18th St.) offers a five-course meal with wine pairings ($75); seatings at 8:30pm and 9:30pm, followed by a dance party at Punch House.
