Plan for New Year's Eve
Our top picks: The Crystal Ball at International Market Square will feature a fashion show with Ra'mon and Christopher from "Project Runway" and local designs by Kjurek Couture and Amanda Christine. Today is the final day to get discounted $35 tickets. Or, you might try your luck at Hell's Kitchen's Casino and Lounge Show with gambling, Vic Varone, champagne and hors d'oeuvres. Tickets are ($65 in advance).

Go Parisian
We're doing something we never do: Recommend the same thing twice. Consider this our final nudge to go to "The Louvre and the Masterpiece" at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (2400 3rd Av. S., Mpls., 612-870-3131, tickets required). Tres bien! Buy yourself a houndstooth apron souvenir in the irresistible gift shop at the end.
