70% Off the Last of Simon Spurr

Lick your finger and hold it to the wind. Yup, still leather-jacket weather. And you can get one here, along with some cashmere sweaters and maybe a sharply cut British suit or two. It’s some of the last stuff Simon designed for his label, so, you know, collector’s items.

Thomas Keller Obliterates Dessert

Per Se. Honestly, we don’t even know what to add. Except maybe that they’re taking the inevitable step of adding a five-course dessert menu. It’s got brioche donuts, crème brûlée and a bunch of stuff you can’t pronounce but should just eat anyway. Accents directly correlate to deliciousness.

Available now at Per Se, 10 Columbus Cir, 4th Fl, 212-823-9335
