When it rains, it weekends.
Your Perks: 1) Button-downs made from supersoft Egyptian cotton. Prepare for spring. 2) Two bottles of Robert De Niro’s favorite vodka. Yeah, that De Niro. 3) Vacation-ready pants, shirts and polos. Don’t let them go to waste.

You can eat a really good dinner at Twenty Seven. And you should. But if you just want drinks, swing by late on Saturday nights. Because they’re keeping the bar open and serving gin- and whiskey-laced cocktails until 2am. They’re calling it “XXVII Antique.” Roman numerals make everything fancy.

Let’s say you’re behind on your coming-of-age ’80s movies. Well, you can catch up quickly at the Granada, where they’re showing a couple classics back-to-back on Sunday. First, The Goonies. Then, Stand by Me. They’ve also got $3 beers and shot specials. They always find a way to get you.
