BRAND-NEW PERKS
A Truffle Feast and Hangover Face Cream
This week, Perks has saved you a seat in the private dining room for Locanda Verde’s upcoming
Trufflepalooza. (You’re welcome.) Plus, 40% off Nickel’s Morning After Rescue Gel—a hangover-curing
face cream infused with caffeine, citrus and soy protein to smooth any lingering roughness. White truffle
hangovers are the worst.

Massive Outdoor Halloween Maze
Oktoberfest may be over in Munich, but at a certain farm in Queens (the only real farm in NYC), the beer
bacchanal is on for this Friday, complete with local Brooklyn brews and an outdoor sausage BBQ. They also
have a three-acre cornfield maze. Because why wouldn’t they.

OSCAR BAIT Dry-Aged Prime Porterhouse at Abe & Arthur’s Yes, you could enjoy the rich flavors of dry-aged porterhouse solo. Or you could do it “Oscar-style,” dousing the whole cut with crabmeat, asparagus and Hollandaise sauce. Either way, you’ll also want to douse your glass with bourbon—a drink, like Oscar, that never met a rich flavor it didn’t like. |

DANCING WITH THE STARS
Partying in a Planetarium
Take a museum brimming with giant planets and moons, life-size blue whales and a tyrannosaurus or two. Then
kick out all the kids. Set up bars on every floor. Give a slew of party people free run. Add DJs. Keep the
place open until one in the morning. Have security look the other way...

BRUNCH-ING
Unlimited Cocktails at Yerba Buena
Sure, you could content yourself with a hangover-obliterating plate of chicken arepas or “cachapa
Benedict.” But for another dozen dollars, the entire cocktail menu could be yours for a full hour. We
suggest seeing how fast you can drink a mimosa. And then trying to beat that record with the next mimosa.

SLICE-ING
An App for the Perfect Pie
Sure, you’ve got your reliable, go-to pizza parlors. But sometimes we find ourselves in an unknown realm
(like the West Side marina at 3am—don’t ask), hungry for a slice. Fear not. This app will recommend the
best pizza nearby, and also suggest “pilgrimages” to holy sites for those who seek enlightenment through
piping-hot cheese.
