 GRAND OPENINGFinal Unveiling of Brooklyn Bowl
After teasing you for months with the prospect of just about everything you could want from a night in north
Williamsburg including live bands, regular multi-screen showings of cult classics, a full fried-chicken menu
from Blue Ribbon and a gratuitous quantity of White Russians (oh yeah, and bowling), we're pleased to bring
you the one detail you've been missing: when you can go. And you can go Tuesday. Try to remain composed.
  HAMPTONS SALE-INGT.B.D. in Southampton
This meticulously curated pop-up of limited-edition men's gear stocks handmade surfboards, Super Sunglasses
(hopefully living up to their name) and French basics from APC like swim trunks—which should be just
about all you need for the weekend.
  WIMBLEPONGWimbledon Table Tennis Tourney at Spin
The city's most celeb-happy Ping-Pong temple is finally open and ready for your booze-addled Pong enjoyment.
To celebrate, they're having a Wimbledon-style table tennis tourney this Saturday. Thankfully your Ping-Pong
whites just came back from the cleaners.
  BAKINGSTK's Lobsterfest
The city's clubbiest steakhouse decides to change tack and focus on LBSTR with a full New
England–style lobster bake with all the trimmings and an all-American apple pie for dessert. Expect
Armani instead of madras and full-on petition to change the neighborhood name to Lobsterpacking
District.
  HARD COURTNew York Sportimes on Randall's Island
If you're too patriotic too make the trek to London's famed grass courts, try Randall's Island, where John
McEnroe and other hilariously surly tennis pros will be bashing it out for charity. And since it's not as
staid as Wimbledon, they've made a few tweaks to the game, including cheering during points, cumulative
scoring and (Mr. McEnroe's favorite) instant replay. Yes, we're serious.
  BLANKET BINGOBeach Party at the Box
Your favorite den of iniquity launches its new Wednesday night Psycho Beach Party. Whether that means
bikinied bunnies bouncing to "Surfin' USA" or a 7-foot-tall tranny with an exceedingly unconventional
beach-ball serve, we will leave to you to discover. Swimsuits are encouraged, with the exception of the
mankini.
