  'tis the season for the best. the best of november that is. keep a hold of this list of the best places to eat, drink and get your culture on this month:



to buy.
you can't gobble your way to the caveny farm, located in monticello, IL, before thanksgiving. lucky for you these heritage turkey breeders will ship bourbon red turkeys or american buff geese right to your door. corn-fed, along with soybeans, there's nothing in these birds that will have you crying fowl. but hurry, turkey day is this week. 1999 N 935 east road. 217.762.7767. www.cavenyfarm.com




to eat.
with a name like mooo, we're not surprised the menu at XV beacon hotel's new resto is rife with red meat. channel your inner carnivore with japanese kobe sirloin. pair it with a side of autumn-inspired cider and maple acorn squash, and you won't care that you'll have to do double-duty on the treadmill tomorrow. 15 beacon street. between bowdoin and tremont. 617.670.2515. www.mooorestaurant.com




to drink.
rum, bananas and choco, oh my. commit a little white sin by ordering the gluttony cocktail from the recently opened church club. it seems too sweet to be sinful: a heavenly mixture of coconut milk, rum, bananas and mint chocolate. save your confessions for the new year. 'tis the season to be naughty. 67 kilmarnock street. between queensberry and peterborough. 617.236.7600. www.churchofboston.com




to play.
forget the shopping frenzy of black friday. use the day to get festive in a different way. snag tix to the brian setzer orchestra christmas extravaganza. don your 1940s spectator pumps and swing over to the orpheum for a change of pace. november 23 at 7:30 pm. 1 hamilton place. between winter and bromfield. 617.482.0650. www.ticketmaster.com




to relax.
the first frost of the season is hardly a reason to celebrate. but a synthetic-free, impossibly soft wool fill blanket is. stop by the just-opened south end wül showroom and cozy up to the wüluxe premium weight king-size comforter. the all-natural filling is covered by a smooth, sateen sheath with crown stitching. feeling sheepish? wind down from the holiday hustle and get wrapped up in wül. 89 west concord street. between deacon and shawmut. 617.266.2966. www.wulusa.com
