Some people call the weekend the gangster of love.
PERK ALERT
Sexy Dates. Whiskey Parties. Snowkiting.
You and a partner are getting a
veritable feast (with cocktails) at West Village date spot Sotto 13—for $30. Plus we’re setting you
up with everything necessary for an epic holiday whiskey party (including the
whiskey) and hooking you up with a private snowkiting lesson for two. Consider
it the most adventurous date of your life...
SU CASA
Tapas and Mussels on the UWS
Picture this: you’re on the Upper West Side, hungry, without a clue as to where you can score some oxtail
meatballs. The solution: this house of the miniature plates of food known as tapas. It’s mussels, paellas
and bold Spanish vinos all day long. Another meatball crisis averted.

- Now open, Casa Pomona, 507 Columbus Ave (between 84th and 85th), 212-362-3200
BIT PLAYER
An LES Cave of Video Games and Beer
It’s time to put that jar of quarters to work. You’re going to come here, and you’re going to see
Frogger. You’re going to see Tetris. You’re going to put the moves on a saucy woman by
the name of Ms. Pac-Man. And there’s going to be beer. Game over.

- Opens Dec 7, Two-Bit’s Retro Arcade, 153 Essex St (at Stanton), 212-477-8161
GOT YOU COVERED
Up to 70% Off Looking Good, from UD
SoHo’s got a lot going for it. But mostly, it’s got the Vault, UD’s pop-up source for the future of
your sartorial magnificence. Stop by. Have a drink. Grab a Michael Bastian jacket or an Oliver Spencer
cardigan for just north of nothing. You know, some “gifts” for “others.”

- Dec 8-9, noon-7pm, The Vault Pop-Up Lounge & Shoppe from UrbanDaddy, 70 Wooster St (between Broome and Spring)
BRUNCH APICIATION
Saying Yes to Pasta for Brunch
What you’re really looking for in a brunch... is a phonograph at every table. It’s a thing with you. We
can’t help you with it. But we can soften the blow with some white-whiskey Bloodys, short rib hash and
garganelli at the buzziest new pasta spot in town. Hash: the great appeaser.

POP ROCK
Just a Bunch of Epic Rock Photography
Jimi Hendrix. The Beatles. The Stones. Patti Smith. You’ve always thought they all missed their calling by
not living on your wall. Fortunately, that’s something you can take care of with a few one-of-a-kind
vintage photos from this pop-up... They really would have cleaned up on Instagram, too.
