FROM PERK
There are plenty of times an engraved champagne sabre might come in handy. When opening a bottle of champagne, of course. Or when reenacting a very fancy Zoro scene. Or when going off-registry for a wedding gift. Like they always say: the couple that sabres together, stays together.
THE STRONG THEME
Things you’ll find at this carnival-themed OddFellows pop-up:
—Pop rocks-topped, cotton candy-wrapped ice cream cones
—Caramel popcorn soft serve
—Jugglers and/or stilt walkers
—Raspberry sherbert coated in gold dust
—Shelves upon shelves of those terrifying vintage cymbal-clapping monkeys. Sorry for that one.
THE AUTHENTIC DUMPLINGS
From minced pork meatballs surrounding salted duck eggs, to pan-fried pork buns, to things not necessarily involving pork, this highly authentic Shanhainese restaurant is going to be clutch when craving heavily seasoned, slow-cooked meats.
THE SENSORY OVERLOAD
Conversation About The Estate of Sensorium, a play in one act…
You: “Care to join me for a day full of good electronic music, massages, swimming, saunas, sound baths and
essential oil therapy at a private Long Island estate?”
Other person: “Will the massages have cannabis, the pools be saltwater, and the sauna be
infrared?”
You: “Yes, actually.”
Other person: “Then I enthusiastically accept.”
THE PRIDE PARTY
For a pride party that involves 1,500 LGBT dancing ladies, waterfront views, go-go dancers, crispy truffle fries, large-format frozen sangritas, and the requisite DJs spinning until the wee hours of the morning, get yourself down to Watermark Bar in the Seaport District. It’s all happening, proudly.
THE BOAT PARTY
Sunday’s all set to be sunny and 80 degrees, so it may make a lot of sense to find yourself on this five-hour sunset cruise with beats of the house/techno variety provided by Tim Green and Tara Brooks. Always, with the sunset boat raves.
NOTHING BUT ‘NET
We’re documenting Trump’s crimes against good taste, giving you a sneak peek at Public School’s high-end take on retro Air Jordans and highlighting five of the most random things you can pick up at Keith Richards’s auction this Saturday. Which, unsurprisingly, includes his leopard-print stiletto chair.
Ilana Dadras passes her days writing about good food, talking about good food and consuming good food. Occasionally doing other things, too.
