Wylie Dufresne: godfather of molecular cuisine, king of sticking a syringe into an egg. And now he’s
staking his entire gastronomic empire on these two new tasting menus. Lobster roe noodles are involved.

HOLY ROLLERS
A Visual History of the Rolling Stones
It’s true. You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you get what you need. Which,
in this case, is an epic display of Rolling Stones photos dating back to the early, pouty-lipped days of the
band. Turns out, Keef hasn’t aged a day.

Through May 31, Morrison Hotel Gallery,
124 Prince St (between Wooster and Greene), 212-941-8770
RUSTY
A Stand-Still Version of Bistro Truck
You’re quite a fan of Bistro Truck’s merguez and Belgian fries. You just wish they would stay the f**k
still once in a while. And now your wish has come true, with their permanent LES outpost of roasted bone
marrow, braised rabbit and general Moroccan goodness. Bogart references are welcome.

Fallon. Chang won. But in case you’d like to judge for yourself, you can grab tickets for the May 20

SALE-ING
80% Off Handsomeness from Gant

layers. Also, a need for lightweight blazers. And a whole bunch of beachy-docky things. Gant has those
things. And starting Tuesday, they’re yours for the taking. Okay, more for the buying than taking.
