Into the great wide weekend.
PERK ALERT
35% Off Total Ecstasy...
Sure, we’re hooking you up with a bouquet of artisanal cheesecakes (more
delicious than flowers) and an anti-Valentine’s Day screening of Fatal Attraction. But
more important than that: 35% off all the Jimmyjane toys you’ll need
to celebrate the holiday right. You know, if you’re into that kind of thing...
SALE AWAY
90% Off at Scoop
Yesterday, a preview of spring in New York. Today, a preview of spring-cleaning at Scoop. Over the next
month, they’ll be organizing their considerably large closets and selling off the excess stock for a song
(expect Etro jackets, Gant gingham, Shipley & Halmos knits). And honestly, when are you not in the
market for knits.

MEX EDUCATION
The Expansion of Empellón
Empellón is opening a new location. Coming over from the old space: everything but the tacos and chips.
Yup, for his sequel, chef Alex Stupak is focusing more on fancier regional cuisine and going back to his
roots as a former wd~50 pastry chef. We can only assume this means churro foam.

I PIE
Curing a Hangover with Pizza
Feel free to go absolutely bonkers Friday night. Because when you wake on Saturday, L’asso will be waiting
with open arms. And mimosas. And a new hair of the dog smoked-salmon pizza that’s sort of like a bagel and
lox. Minus the schmear.

- Brunch starts Feb 4, Sat-Sun, 11am-4pm, L’asso, 107 1st Ave, 212-837-2045
CLEARWATER REVIVAL
Brunching at Hudson Clearwater
Kicking off the most important eating day of the year (and New York football game in four): Hudson
Clearwater’s inaugural brunch service. The hidden gem (you enter through a secret garden) will be blending
fruit smoothies, frying french toast and grilling up hanger steaks. The Buffalo wings can wait.

TWO-PINT CONVERSION
Eataly Hosts the Super Bowl
Good news: we’ve found you an alternative to seats on the 50 for Sunday. Birreria, Eataly’s rooftop beer
garden, is showing the grand American football contest on eight flat-screens. Also, they’ll be opening up
the bar and kitchen for unlimited food and Moretti during the game. Nobody does Super Bowl like the
Italians.
