The weekend’s heart grew three sizes that day.
PERK ALERT
Courtside Nets Seats with Darryl Dawkins
Today: a bigger day than usual. Because NBA legend Darryl Dawkins is taking you to
a Nets game. So that’s cool. Also: you’re getting up to $100 off anything and everything from Cole
Haan, because we said so. And you’re getting 20% off epic
relaxation at a Tribeca pleasure palace, because... you said so.
TRÈS BIEN
A Wild Brooklyn Bakery Comes West
The Brooklyn baked-goods spot Bien Cuit is bringing its various apple-cardamom danishes, large disks of
olive bread, bourbon banana tarts, quiches and the occasional Reuben to Manhattan for your eating pleasure.
Also, your having-an-impressive-loaf-of-bread-sticking-out-of-your-bag pleasure.
- 411:
- Now open, Bien Cuit, 35 Christopher St (at Waverly)
SALE-ING
70% Off at Hugo Boss
You’ve been considering a radical expansion of your dress-shirt collection. Of course, you’ll need some
new suits to match. Well, it just so happens that Hugo Boss makes both, and you can get them right now for a
song. Note: they probably won’t actually accept songs as payment.
- 411:
- Dec 20-21, 9am-7pm; Dec 22, 9am-5pm; Hugo Boss at Soiffer Haskin, 317 W 33rd (between 8th and 9th)
WITH THE FISHES
An Italian Feast, British-Style
As a rule, you attend any event with a name like the Feast of the Seven Fishes. It’s why you were front
and center at the Liberation of the Infinite Hot Tubs, and it’s why you’ll dine on turbot tranche and
oysters at John Dory soon. It’s just sound policy.
- 411:
- Dec 24-25, 5pm-midnight, $85, The John Dory Oyster Bar, 1196 Broadway (at 29th), 646-214-5764, see the menu
DOC HOLIDAY
Marty McFly and Chinese on Christmas
It’s a tradition as old as... this year: ignoring Christmas, digging into some life-affirming chow mein
and giving yourself over to the big-screen genius of Marty McFly and Doc. It’s happening Tuesday in
Tribeca. Maybe you’re not ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it.
- 411:
- Dec 25, 12:30pm, $25 ($30 at door), 92YTribeca, 200 Hudson St (between Vestry and Desbrosses), 212-601-1000, tickets here
CEREAL OFFENDER
The Most Decadent Cereal Ever Created
Froot Loops. Cookie Crisp. Count Chocula... They’ve all just been put to shame. French baking superstar
Dominique Ansel has made a Christmas-morning cereal out of caramelized-chocolate-covered Rice Krispies,
hazelnuts and cinnamon marshmallows. This may finally put the Trix Rabbit over the edge for good.
- 411:
- Through January, $15, Dominique Ansel Bakery, 189 Spring St (between Thompson and Sullivan), 212-219-2773
