  SUB SALESubway Memorabilia Auction
The city's retiring old trains and selling off the parts so you can outfit your apartment with benches,

hold obvious appeal to both straphangers and MTA-themed gentlemen's clubs.

In the interest of shopping safety, the art, knickknack and whimsy salesmen at Partners & Spade are
providing a little safety net should you happen to find yourself on the business end of a lunatic Black

ask for a lollipop when you're done.
 DINE-INGThe Breslin Serves Dinner
After easing into the realms of breakfast and lunch, the Spotted Pig's
younger brother finally has the savoriness you've been waiting for: stuffed pig's foot. The new dinner
menu also has braised beef shin, lamb burger, a four-meat terrine board and something called
Scrumpets, which could also be used to describe the well-groomed hipsters in the Ace Hotel lobby.
  FLEA-INGBrooklyn Flea Takes Manhattan
After quietly dominating Brooklyn, the Flea takes Manhattan for the first time, and they've brought some
choice holiday season wares: artisanal pickles and mustard from McClure's, vintage watches from David Sokosh
and home beer-making kits from Brooklyn Brew Shop. Be sure to stop by before they pack up their caravans and
ford the East River.

Russian reliquary rolls out seasonal vodka specials, we're all ears. The latest batch includes Sugar
Cookie—a pumpkin-infused vodka and nutmeg blend—and an apple vodka, Frangelico and apple
syrup mix called the Apple Pie on the Rocks. All of which can be effortlessly infused into your
meal of caviar and beef stroganoff.
  SEX SHOWPurple Magazine Photo Show
There's a fine line separating tasteful adult entertainment from Purple magazine founder

we don't mind toeing.
