Sandwiches, $9.49 each, include Spicy & Sweet Habanero Chicken (grilled chicken thighs, jalapenos, pineapple, sweet marinara and melted cheese), Phil's Cheesy Steak (tender steak, cheese sauce, peppers and onions) and more.

—WNDR Museum—Chicago's original immersive art and technology experience, at 1130 W. Monroe St., now has new ticket packages as well as a new social media-inspired installation designed to enhance guests' selfie games.

Guests can check out WNDR Museum's newest installation, "Hi!" After taking a traditional selfie, visitors will see more than 10 photos of themselves, each altered to feature a variety of quirky cartoonish photo filters. "Hi!" will join more than 20 interactive art and technology installations at WNDR Museum, including three installations that debuted in September.

Tickets to WNDR Museum are $30 and must be purchased in advance at www.wndrmuseum.com . Children 2 and younger receive free admission.

—"Romanticism to Ruin: Two Lost Works of Sullivan and Wright": This massive new dual exhibition—at Wrightwood 659, 659 W. Wrightwood Ave.—explores two of Louis H. Sullivan's and Frank Lloyd Wright's long-demolished masterpieces: Sullivan's innovative Garrick Theatre, located here in Chicago at 64 W. Randolph St., which stood for only 69 years; and Wright's unprecedented Larkin Building, in Buffalo, New York, which stood for just 44.

Two distinct presentations—"Reconstructing the Garrick: Adler & Sullivan's Lost Masterpiece" and "Reimagining the Larkin: Frank Lloyd Wright's Modern Icon"—feature 3-D models and digital recreations of the original edifices; salvaged architectural ornaments and artifacts; original furniture; historical documentation of the design, construction and demise of the buildings; archival photographs taken by noted preservationist and photographer Richard Nickel; drawings; and historical ephemera.

The exhibition runs through Saturday, Nov. 27.
