The weekend is coming into the home stretch.

Quinn Takes Broadway
Two of academia’s greatest minds—Colin Quinn and Jerry Seinfeld—put together a Broadway show on world
history, and we’re getting you 35% off seats. To complement your theater tux, Perks is also bringing you

TAKE TWO
The Sequel to Osteria Morini
Building an empire: never easy (you didn’t topple the lobster bib industry with luck). You need a strong
track record (Marea, Convivio and Osteria Morini, for starters), an original concept and, above all else, an
off-menu Pat La Frieda burger. Coincidentally, the new Ai Fiori has all of the above.
- 411:
- Opens Dec 2, Ai Fiori at The Setai, 400 5th Ave, 212-613-8660
SALE-ING
Sample Sale Battle Royal
In this corner: Raf Simons, Belgian maker of austere, wintery sweaters and coats. In the other corner:
Riviera Club, your SoCal-based source for beach-ready flannels. In the third corner: you, getting wares from
each for up to 70% off. In the fourth corner: Burgess Meredith, for some reason.
- 411:
- Dec 2-3, 8:30am-7pm, Williamson PR & Showroom, 119 Mercer St, Loft 2S, 212-226-5507
SALE-ING II
The Rag & Bone Sample Sale
Don’t let yesterday’s hurricane fool you. It’s still very much leather jacket season. Which, as you
know, conveniently dovetails with sweater season and piggybacks on boot season. This weekend, you’ll
acquire all the necessary equipment in one place. That’s not leather you’re smelling—it’s victory.
- 411:
- Dec 2-5 (Thu-Fri 10:30am-7pm, Sat 11am-7pm, Sun 12-5pm), Chelsea Market, 75 9th Ave
BLIND FAITH
A Pop-Up at the Blind Barber
You’re particular about routines. Take the barbershop shave: it should be done with a straight razor,
finished with a hot towel and washed down immediately with a vodka apple cider. But if someone were also to
offer you cuff links, flasks or argyle accessories, you’d be open to change. Temporarily.
- 411:
- Dec 4-5, Fine and Dandy Shop at The Blind Barber, 339 E 10th St, 212-228-2123
LION KING
The $85 Burger Comes to the Lion
The definition of what makes a burger a deluxe can vary from person to person. For some, it’s special
sauce. For others, it’s pickles. For you and the Lion, well, it’s seared foie gras and black truffle
vinaigrette. Now being offered off-menu, and with 0% down at purchase.
- 411:
- Available now off-menu, The Lion, W 9th St, 212-353-8400
SUPPER CLUBBING
Monday Supper Club at the Oak Room
Come Monday evening, you’re probably going to want two things: Friday. And dinner. Of course, you’d
settle for one if it includes reservations for a three-course tasting and musical performance inside the
Plaza’s Oak Room. It’s just like the 1920s, only with legally served cocktails.
- 411:
- Mondays starting Dec 6, The Oak Room, 10 Central Park South, 212-758-7777
