The weekend is now open for business.
To guarantee you look sharp this summer: 50 extra bucks at Lyonstate, where you can pick up handsomeness from A.P.C., Herschel and others. Also: 33% off top-notch grooming essentials (Baxter shaving creams, Kiehl’s hair gels...) and 25% off this game-changing device that turns any hard surface into a speaker. Your summer playlist deserves it.
There is a multitude of ways to really kick off Memorial Day weekend. But we think the simplest is probably the best: at the beach. Drinking a frozen piña colada. At a giant two-story bar. That just happens to look like a boat. Ahoy there, Castaways, welcome back.
Your summer blockbuster checklist is going pretty well. Now for your blockbusters of 1923 checklist: Safety Last—that silent picture where Harold Lloyd hangs from a clock tower—plays with live jazz band and organ accompaniment on Saturday. Something that Fast & Furious 6 sorely lacks.
Everyone knows pork belly scrapple benedict just isn’t the same without hollandaise sauce. But too few really appreciate what a little Motown can do for it, too. You’ll find all of that at Untitled’s soul-music brunch on Sunday. As well as a Bloody Mary station. Also good for the soul.
Oh, glorious summer, grant your favors upon us. Your sun-dappled rooftops. Your pink-champagne-dappled afternoons. Whatever. Just dapple us with something. This lineup of 40 kinds of rosé should suffice. And just in case it doesn’t, there’s also booze-filled slushies and liquid-nitrogen margaritas.
No work for you on Monday. But some folks will be out there working hard. Specifically, oyster shuckers at Shaw’s. Oysters are half off all day, except from 3 to 6pm, when they’re only 50 cents. So come hungry. And with lots of quarters.
