SPIKED
Burgers and Shakes at XIV
Everybody's got their own ideas about patriotism. Yours involve the new menuon
XIV's terrace with, say, a Kobe burger with balsamic onions, Farmhouse cheddar and Michael Mina's secret
sauce. Also, a root beer float spiked with Jack Daniel's. Your whiskey, 'tis of thee…

SALE-ING
Vince Says Sale
Rocking the polished-at-a-barbecue look just got a little easier, now that the good people at Vince are
unloading mounds of classy but comfortable sweaters, button-downs and shorts for 40 percent off.
You're pretty sure that entitles you to 40 percent more ribs.

RE: URGENT
Out of Office Fridays
Set your email to auto-reply before heading out to that alleged meeting—at Asia De Cuba. The $5 mojitos will wash down $5
bites like Big Eye Tuna Sliders and Roast Duck Confit Pica. And magically turn the week
into the weekend.

BIGGER BOAT
Swimming With Sharks at the Standard
Come Independence Day, there's always the Hollywood Bowl, oceanside fireworks and assorted backyards
throughout the land. Or…a surreal rooftop pool choked with
bikinis, squirt gun fights and $35 champagne bottle service. Decisions, decisions.
