Big Bird’s crashing at the weekend’s place until he gets back on his feet.
This week’s Perks: 1) Dinner and oysters at Greenwich Village hot spot McCoy, followed by an off-menu cocktail downstairs at their speakeasy, Tomoka. 2) 25% off handsome wood furniture from Brooklyn’s Yorkwood (shipping’s on us). 3) A pass to NYC’s most important beer and sausage fest for 40 bucks.
