  SALE-INGYSL 80% Off at Friends and Family
The racks may be skewed toward the female, but the discerning homme will find jackets, pants and a
stockpile of outerwear with miniscule price tags. And you may even be forced to mingle with all those
ladies, but we know you can handle it. Your winter wardrobe depends on it.
  BOOM TO BONDinner at the Bon Bon
After a month masquerading as the
Boom Boom Room, the Standard Hotel's 18th-floor shag pad has a brand new name and accompanying
sweetness. The Bon Bon is welcoming you to five hours of dinner, after which they'll revert to the kind of
retro merrymaking you know and love. Because a party, by any other name, is just as sweet.
 SALE-ING IIOak Sale 60% off
We approach the term "bargain basement" with a tinge of trepidation. Not so when that basement belongs to
Oak, and the bargains include apparel and shoes from Opening Ceremony, Diesel and Acne. It's like your
parents' basement without the Ping-Pong table but with better denim.
  POST PORKThe Keg Trend Continues
First
Superdive, then the Standard Beer Garden and now… the Yard.
The personal keg is rolling into Chelsea, with a Halloween kick-off in the former home of Porky's. If
encouraging trends is wrong, we don't want to be right.
 BOOZE BIRDWild Turkey Wild Turkey
In addition to a medicinal beverage, it turns out the wild turkey is an animal too. But that doesn't mean
you can't combine the two: Brooklyn Kitchen's version comes packed with country sausage and injected with
brine made from actual Wild Turkey bourbon. You wouldn't want to spoil the holiday with a bottom-shelf
bird.
  CHOW FUNDim Sum Burlesque Show
In the history of pairings, soul food and Sichuan get a curious footnote. But throw in a burlesque show, and
there's some perverse genius. Apparently we're not alone in the thinking, because advanced tickets to Chow
Bar's inaugural show sold out. You can still buy tickets for next week, or just snag a seat at the bar. West
Villagers rejoice… there will be torch singers.
