The weekend no longer has a headphone jack.
FROM PERKS
We’re not saying these watches are better because of their industrial-style construction. Or because they have three bold sub-dial faces. Or because they’re made with extremely lightweight and durable steel. Or crafted with supple leather straps… But we’re not not saying that either.
TOPO THE POPS
How to recover from all the work you’ve been doing since Tuesday morning: drop by Topo Designs, where you can scope new arrivals and sale stuff (think beanies and flannels) while enjoying some gratis ice cream. Or do your shopping online, but then there’s no ice cream.
SOUNDSYSTEM CLOUD
You may like LCD Soundsystem. You may even like dancing to music by them, and bands like them. So you may really like the idea of Dance Yourself Clean, a dance party happening at the Rickshaw Stop on Thursday. You do like dancing, right?
GOING FOR THE OLD
Nothing says “Hey, September” quite like a new beer bar. Take Old Devil Moon, now open in Bernal. They have three cicerones behind the bar and a lush New Orleans vibe. This includes po’boys. Sure, po’boys can be lush.
THANKS A BRUNCH
ATwater Tavern: Outdoor seating, bayfront location and a brunch menu that includes bread
pudding french toast, chilaquiles and tomatillo Bloody Marys. Nice.
Barzotto: Maple porchetta, eggs in spicy tomato sauce and orange-grapefruit mimosas. Very
nice.
This has been Two New Brunches for Your Consideration.
WILDER THINGS
Seems wise to celebrate the great Gene Wilder with a screening of one of his most beloved films, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Simply look around and view it. You’ll see candy, bubbles and the actors who played Veruca Salt and Mike Teevee.
Lauren Sloss requires a climate that allows her to wear motorcycle boots daily. She likes her bourbon neat and her martinis dirty, and would like to be the lead singer of a punk rock band when she grows up.
