  BARFLIESHalf-Off Happy Hour at Bar Blanc Bistro
After a one-day closure, the whitewashed wonderland is reemerging with a new name (check the "bistro" on the
end), a half-off happy hour for anyone slick enough to stop by in the first week and a new bar menu packed
with greasy treats like Pancetta-Wrapped Sardines and something called The Blanc Burger.
We'd use the half-off savings to burn through twice as many cocktails.

The Old New York clothier is offering 50-70 percent off classic suiting, oxford shirts and fabrics by the
yard if you happen to have a tailor on deck…or just an insatiable lust for tweed.
  HOGSHill Country's Whole Pig Roast
The Texas market-style barbecue pit is putting a 45-pound suckling pig (courtesy of meat master Pat

brisket, mac and cheese and well-earned heart attacks.
  SOFT SHELLLobster Meatballs at Ed's Lobster Bar
You love lobsters. You love meatballs. But never in your wildest dreams did you think of co-mingling the two
delicacies. Luckily, the folks at Ed's Lobster Bar are of more imaginative stock, swapping out the usual
beef for the crustacean, stewing it in marinara and serving it all over linguini—which happens to be
your third favorite thing.
 ISLANDERSThe Surf Lodge Opens for Reservations
Get your dialing finger ready. Montauk's slacker-luxe alternative to Hamptons scenery is taking resys
starting this Wednesday, which means you'll have at least a week before it's booked…and another month
or so to prepare for a weekend of beachbound movies, crowded hot tubs and the occasional disgruntled townie.
