Don’t speak, weekend knows just what you’re thinking.
FROM PERKS
Dear Mom,
These flowers were grown on the side of a volcano. Some kind gentlemen hiked up and cut them so I could have a dozen delivered to you fresh in time for Mother’s Day. I mean, volcano flowers. What a world.
… is a thing you might write in your card.
THE SAMPLE SALE
Well, Sleepy Jones is having their first-ever sample sale—and all of their sleepwear, loungewear and maybe-go-to-the-supermarket-wear is up to 70% off. And you want to make sure your maybe-go-to-the-supermarket-wear game is strong.
THE CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-ADVENTURE COCKTAIL
Grab friends and head to this sexy, soft-lit loft with an unusual bottle of something that could go into a cocktail. Then a bartender who specializes in esoteric ingredients will turn your unusual bottles into unusual drinks. If she uses yours, you’ll all get a gratis tasting. So make it good.
THE HERRING
Throughout Passover, this Chinese spot on the LES will serve up their version of Passover dishes. Cue the brisket cooked Cantonese-barbecue-style and gnocchi in tomato-herring sauce with crunchy matchstick potatoes. Always good to get the Italians involved in a meal, too.
THE ’90s SING-ALONG
Here now: a ’90s alt-rock sing-along night. Yes, it involves Surge soda cocktails. Yes, there will be a photo booth. Yes, there will be a lot of people singing “Champagne Supernova” with music videos and lyrics projected on the big screen. Get your unabashed face on.
THE END OF PURITY
Precisely 500 years ago, the German Beer Purity Law was passed, stating that beer may only contain water, barley and hops. Here’s where you may celebrate that with polka, bratwurst, a beer-stein-hoisting competition and a mass amount of German beer and beer cocktails. Hoist mightily, friend.
THE CAVIAR
The second outpost of this caviar lounge just opened on the UWS. Inside: well, caviar, but also champagne, foie gras platters, samples of cold smoked arctic char. It pretty much checks all your caviar lounge boxes.
THE VAST SUBWAY IMPROVEMENT
The subway station shopping landscape has been grim for a while. And then these developers put 39 hat, donut, wine, menswear and rotating designer pop-up shops in the Columbus Circle passageway. So, less grim now.
