The weekend is converting matter into energy.
BRAND-NEW PERKS
Your Friday in AC, Covered. Plus: Half Off Your Next Shirt.
This week, Perks is taking you to Atlantic City and setting you up with a steak dinner, VIP nightclub access
and a room at the Borgata. Also: half off your next Jeremy Argyle shirt, cut with just enough tail to be
tucked, but not so much that you can’t wear the shirt untucked. It’s like the Golden Mean of shirting.

FONDUE FREEZE
Getting Iced at The Bourgeois Pig
When the temperature goes triple digits, it’s time to get creative.
The Bourgeois Pig is taking its bubbling-hot, winter-ready chocolate fondue and solidifying the
proceedings into an icy form. And since every good frozen dessert needs a chaser, they’re also chilling
wine and champagne into sorbet form. Creativity we can stand by.

SGT. PEPPERING
Missing Beatles Photos Lost and Found
If you were the son of a famous music photographer and uncovered 20 unpublished photos of the Beatles in
Dad’s archives, you would first send Yoko a taunting email, then take a moment to compose yourself and
finally phone the Morrison Hotel Gallery to help display your snapshots of music history. Then you’d email
Yoko again to apologize for that first email.

MEATY MATTERS
Meatopia on Governors Island
Governors Island used to be a sprawling army base protecting NY Harbor. On Sunday it becomes Meatopia, a
sprawling BBQ base manned by 30 of the city’s premier pitmasters, along with microbrew tastings and a
little lazy live bluegrass. Which we’re confident in saying is the secret ingredient in every good
barbecue.

POOL PARTY
Massive Summer Concert Series
From US senators to Jay-Z, everyone seems to find their way down to the Williamsburg waterfront at some
point over the summer for the massive carnival, hipster parade and gratis rock send-ups that are the Jelly
Pool Parties. Now add model Agyness Deyn to the list, who’s hosting a British pub with AllSaints during
the shows. You’ve been meaning to have a pint with your senator...

MEN’S CLUB
Burlesque Goes Uptown
There was a time when the Oak Bar at the Plaza Hotel was men-only. That is, men were the only ones drinking.
The fairer sex might have been performing a bawdy striptease, and Sunday marks the return of this glorious
tradition after a one-century hiatus. Funny, it doesn’t feel like it’s been a day longer than 50 years.

- Jul 11, 9 and 10pm, $15 with two-drink minimum, The Oak Bar, 10 Central Park South, 212-758-7777
VENICE BEACHING
West Coast Surf Party in SoHo
The prepster SoCal beach bums of Riviera
Club, who based their line of shorts, henleys and tees on a surf god who once bedded 90 women in a
single week, are importing DJs from Surf Lodge, bartenders from Apotheke and liquor from Scotland for an
impromptu beach party at
Saturdays in SoHo. Alas, the celebration lasts only two hours, so 90 may be too much to hope for...
