MESSAGE TO YOU, RUDY’S
Haircuts and Stumptown in Williamsburg
Occasionally, you’ve exclaimed, “I need boots, a cardigan, mustache wax, a pair of headphones, a cup of
Stumptown coffee and, oh yeah, a haircut.” And usually people respond, “That’s... highly specific.”
But not at Rudy’s soon-to-be-permanent Williamsburg pop-up. They’ll make it all happen. For money... but
still.

- Now open, Rudy’s Outpost, 33 Grand St (at Kent), Brooklyn, 718-210-1772
GET ’NUTS
Chelsea’s Resolution-Destroying Donuts
Miniature donuts. We thought that’d get your attention. There’s a new Chelsea Market spot that makes
them taste like sour cherries, ancho chili, wasabi and black sugar. Presumably by adding those things to the
donuts. They’re also offering a pumpkin-beer caramel donut dip. So... looks like donuts are solved.

FIT FOR A KING
The Dawn of an Union Square Sports Bar
A little bird told us you like sports. And then another little bird came and told us you like frozen whiskey
cocktails and prosciutto-wrapped grilled cheese. So we can only assume this new flat-screen-bedecked Union
Square sports bar was built by sparrows. We could be wrong.

- Now open, The Royal, 127 4th Ave (between 12th and 13th), 212-260-1099, see the slideshow
EN ’GUARD
A Wine Bar Where You Need It Most
Kips Bay. You’ve—well, it’s been a while. And there damn sure weren’t too many white-marbled bistros
serving up Languedoc reds and shrimp-and-saffron-aioli tartines from a former Le Bernardin chef when you
were there last. But now there’s at least one of those.

- Now open, Vanguard, 530 2nd Ave (between 29th and 30th), 212-447-9463, see the menu and the slideshow
KIND OF BLUE
Bluegrass Brunch on the LES
This weekend, you could be eating breakfast nachos and drinking oatmeal stout at Randolph Beer while a
bluegrass band serenades you. Correction: this weekend, you should be eating breakfast nachos and
drinking oatmeal stout at Randolph Beer while a bluegrass band serenades you. Because you can do that now.
