  PERKS1 New Perk
This week's perk brings you a spot in Mekhong's new Ports of Call program—an inside line to a world of
exclusive cocktails, free appetizers and reserved seats at spots all over town. That is, more or less the
way you're living now…
  STAGE FRIGHTAir Sex World Championship
A strange Japanese subculture goes above ground this Friday, with a few dozen fully clothed souls taking to
the stage to simulate the act of love with the same attention to detail usually applied to an
instrument-less Eddie Van Halen solo. As mandated by state law, it's all fake, but the awkwardness is very,
very real.
 BIG POPPA30% Off at Jack Spade
The good news: you've got until next Sunday to come up with a Father's Day gift. The better news: the city's
quirkiest bag-makers are offering up dad-friendly duds like repp ties, twill wallets, work aprons (the
manliest kind of apron) and duffle bags at 30 percent off. Dad jokes are required on entry.
  MONTAUKINGYacht Club's 80th Anniversary Bash
Montauk's bootlegging waypoint-turned-hotel is getting back to its roots with a night of country club
cocktails—including a house version of the mint julep—and casino-style roulette, craps and
blackjack. The downside: you'll be playing with Montauk Money, which won't even get you a mojito at the Surf
Lodge.
  SEA SHANTYBrunch at Butcher Bay
The city just got a grizzled new brunch option, with Alphabet City's saltiest bistro serving up Banana
Stuffed French Toast and Eggs Benedict with Lobster Hollandaise starting this weekend. Pirate
supplies are available on request.
 TUMBLIN' DICEA $29 Train Ticket to Atlantic City
A ride to the nearest gambling den just got a whole lot cheaper. Coach tickets to Vegas East on the
legendary ACES
train are now a piddling $29, or about the price of your first hand of blackjack.
