WHAT A MEZ
Wine and Octopus on the LES
Next time you’re on the Lower East Side and you want lamb meatballs, followed by truffle gnocchi, then

Gant, for Less Than Normal
Lick your finger. Stick it in the air. Yep, sweater weather. Gant’s got a large amount of those for you

STRIPTEASE
Strip House Is in Midtown Now
No one has ever accused you of not liking bone-in rib eye. And no one’s going to do that today. We’re
just going to tell you that you can get a damn good one, and wash it down with a filet mignon if you want,
at venerable Strip House’s new Midtown digs. Just try it.

NEW BRUNCHWICK
NOLA-Inspired Brunch in the East Village
Look—let’s not be coy. You’re going to brunch this weekend. We all know that. In fact, we’ve got one
for you. It’s in the East Village. It’s New Orleans–inspired—got andouille and eggs, jambalaya
balls, lemongrass mimosas. And it’s only available through Perks. This has been
“brunch.” Thanks.

LIFE RAFF
The Much Bigger Return of Riff Raff’s
Riff Raff’s. Great place for post–Hurricane Club bottle service and dangerous dance moves. In that
order. Its problem has always been that it needed to be twice as big. Yep, needed to be doubled. And now it
is. Now you’ve got the room you need for all your moves.
