Where are we going?

How do you translate a period drama into wordless movement? Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet will show us when it stages the U.S. premiere of Atonement, a dance adaptation of the Ian McEwan novel–turned–Oscar-winning film, at the Lyric Opera House (October 17-27). The subject matter is heavy, so afterward head to Gene & Georgetti’s, where a steak and a martini will help foster deep contemplation.

What are we wearing?

As history proves time and again, atonement is best delivered with a side of diamonds—especially when they come in a certain blue box. Look closely here and you’ll see that this Tiffany Eternity watch has a different cut of diamond (Asscher, emerald, heart, pear, marquise, etc.) to mark each hour. Even the crown is a mini version of the classic Tiffany engagement ring. So who’s sorry now?
