The weekend’s got Cupid on retainer.
PERK ALERT
A Dinner Date with Copious Caipirinhas
You’ve got two options for seduction this weekend: a sexy Brazilian date with copious
caipirinhas (for 48 bucks) at Brasilina, or a stellar three-course dinner at Ken
& Cook in Nolita. Then, sometime next week, just kick back at the
Windsor Park Avenue for a burger and some beers... for 30 bucks.
ALL YOU NEED IS GIN
Forget Valentine’s Day. Drink Gin.
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, this... is the one you’ll be at tonight. DJ Alex
Moreno will be spinning. You’ll be getting free pink gin cocktail shots with every cocktail you consume.
Nothing can possibly go wrong.

WISE GUYS
A Sexy Den of Pork Chops and Cocktails
Three enterprising women started a sexy, red-tinged bit of old-school New York meat eating and cocktailery
on the Bowery. They’ve got a drink menu from an Acme vet and a food menu from a Frankies 570 vet. And they
want you there. Really. They told us that.

DEAR JEAN
Your Next Art Date: Starring Basquiat
Jean-Michel Basquiat. Damn, that guy could paint a painting. And 50 of said paintings are hanging on a wall
in Chelsea right now, just waiting to be admired by you and someone you totally charmed when you said,
“Hey, how about you and I go check out the Basquiat exhibit.”

FJALLING DOWN
65% Off Swedish Winter Stuff
Oh, hey, it’s still pretty cold out. Cool. Not really. Anyway, it’s an excuse to pick up some handsome
and unpronounceable winter jackets and hiking-grade shirtage from the Swedish Swedes of Fjällräven.
Enjöî.

BRISK
The Best Brisket in Town Will Be Here
You’ve heard of the Burger King. Creepy guy. But there’s a much more prestigious claim to meat royalty
being settled on Wednesday—New York’s brisket king. Eighteen brisket competitors (yes, BrisketTown and
Mighty Quinn’s will be there). One trophy. You trying them all. Long live the king.
