Wacky inflatable arm-flailing weekend.
FROM PERKS
Rule #1 when it comes to chef’s knives: don’t skimp. That said, consider this set made with fiberglass handles and German steel blades. They’re lightweight and evenly balanced with blades that are ultrathin and sturdy. Looks good, cuts great, end of story.
THE SWIMWEAR
Orlebar Brown, the Brits behind handsome swimwear and other summer-appropriate clothing items, will be doing the sample sale thing through the weekend. So that you might do the acquiring-those-items thing.
THE HAMPTONS
Should you find yourself Hamptons-bound this weekend, this East Hampton spot is hosting a man who usually makes cocktails at Happiest Hour and Slowly Shirley, and will have pineapple-glazed pork ribs to go with said cocktails. So, make yourself here-bound.
THE BRUNCH GAMES
Quality Eats has brought about the revolution. The one where they bring over carafes of mimosas and Bellinis, mini Solo cups and ping-pong balls. We trust you can take it from there.
THE BROWN LIQUOR AND FRIED-NESS
This is a whiskey and Southern-inspired foods festival: sip over 100 whiskeys. Eat a whiskey-drizzled donut. Play horseshoes. Get styled at a mustache bar. Etc.
THE PATIO
First, check out this beautiful patio. Then, imagine yourself sitting on it, fig julep in hand, Greek chicken taco on plate, watching Bonnie and Clyde on a warm summer’s night. Then, manifest that in reality.
