The weekend heals all wounds.
PERK ALERT
Driving History’s Greatest Supercars
We’re handing you the keys to a Lamborghini, and a Ferrari, and more—all because Classic Car Club thinks you should
be a member for the day. (You know what to do.) Also: enjoy a three-course dinner for 50
bucks at Prandial, and take a private cruise around Manhattan with 11 friends. Wine included, naturally...
MADE WITH LOVE
Sex Was Had on This Art
Jackson Pollock experimented with just dripping paint onto canvas. Rothko explored the stark depths of
color. This guy... did something else. It involves a large canvas, some amorous couples, paint and probably some
Al Green. And now the results are on display here... Bow chicka bow wow.

STAFF MEETING
A Manse of Impeccable Jacketry
You’ve been known to wear a jacket on occasion. Sometimes even multiple days in a row. So you’d best get
to know Belstaff’s new UES flagship. Brando-worthy motorcycle jackets, shearlings fit for a god and the
original waxed-cotton road jacket. Plus, some bags and shirts, if you wear those, too.

- Now open, Belstaff, 814 Madison Ave (at 68th), 212-897-1880
GOOD PROSPECTS
Before Jay-Z, Go Here
Jay-Z’s in town. Kind of a big thing. Opening up some sort of Brooklyn sporting venue. Anyway, we thought
you’d want to eat while you’re out there. And oysters, dry-aged duck and veal cheek are totally things
you can eat. And this place has those. See how that worked out.
- 411:
- Opens Sep 28, Prospect, 773 Fulton St (between Portland and Oxford), Brooklyn, 718-596-6826
SHELL GAMES
Competitive Oystering at Grand Central
Oysters: they’re about winning. Which’ll make a lot more sense when you watch grown men compete in
shucking and slurping contests for your amusement at this festival of bivalves. As for you: you’ll be
learning the art of the tequila-oyster shooter and fortifying with Naked Cowboys. Which are oysters...
- 411:
- Sep 29, noon-6pm, Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant at Grand Central Terminal, 89 E 42nd St (at Park), 212-490-6650
PAINT IT BLACK
Party Brunching in the East Village
Nothing says sultry-brunch-of-your-life like spiced maple syrup. But just in case that’s totally untrue,
Black Market has thrown in a weekly DJ set augmented by oysters, deviled eggs, cocktails and the voluptuous
sounds of soul and R&B, too. But the spiced maple syrup’ll probably do it.
- 411:
- Sat-Sun, noon-4pm, Black Market, 110 Ave A (near 7th), 212-614-9798
