Roam, if you want to, all around the weekend.
FROM PERKS
This is just a cooler. Just a regular ol’ cooler that’s been outfitted with a built-in blender, a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, a bottle opener, USB outlets and a host of other insane (but also entirely necessary) features. Nothing to see here but your run-of-the-mill speaker/blender/cooler…
THE BARBECUE
Good news: that sprawling outdoor barbecue spot in Gowanus is back open for the season. More good news: they’re inviting the best pitmasters from across America to take over the smoker over the course of the summer. First up are the folks from St. Louis’s Pappy’s Smokehouse. The “Pappy” means it’s good.
THE GHOSTBUSTERS
Sure, you’ve seen Ghostbusters before. But you probably haven’t seen it in a warehouse transformed into the movie’s firehouse headquarters, with live characters and the film’s actual props built into different sets and themed rooms. Getting Zuul’s autograph is a total possibility.
THE POP-UP
You walk into a small shop with hanging disks meant to give the impression of airplane windows. You find a selection of nicely curated Japanese and Swedish cleansing oils, face masks and phone-charging carry-ons. You leave, more prepared for summer vacationing than you entered. This is that situation.
THE BRUNCH
Momofuku Nishi brunch is now two days that involve pork-and-fried-egg sandwiches, scrambled eggs with bottarga and rice bowls with ocean trout and unagi sauce. Yeah, the ocean has trout.
THE YEEZCREAM
This shop’s doing “Kanye Ice Cream Week,” inspired by the rare glimpses of happiness on Kanye’s face whilst eating ice cream. Go. Try the “Father Stracciatella My Hands Pt. 1.” Try the “Beautiful Morning Milkshake.” Try something else. Also feel happy.
