Things to do for March 12, 2009
The Weekender
Free Dinner, School Girls and a Brand-New Hotel Bar
The weekend is staging a last-minute rally.
Thursday
Friday
SOFT OPENING
The Cooper Square Hotel Bar Opens
EVill's newest glass tower is still short a restaurant, but they're rolling out the next best thing: their very own hotel bar. The second-floor lounge is now open with a mild 11pm last call that they make up for with a back garden filled with bamboo shrubs, Zen gravel and pleasantly sauced European women.
Saturday
DOGGING
PDT Introduces Gourmet Corn Dogs
The bacon-wrapped institution answers your late-night prayers with a new corn dog made from a mushroom-like corn spore called huitlacoche, courtesy of Tailor's Sam Mason. Add in some new Crif gear and a few new cocktails (like the gin-soaked Blackthorn Rose) and you'll forget you're eating a mushroom-like corn spore called huitlacoche.
SKETCH
Partners & Spade's Drawathon
Noho's most mischievous pop-art mart is going live. Sharpie impressionist Jason Polan will be spending his Saturday in their shop window, doing sketches of whatever you want for $20 a pop. We suggest something whimsical… like a bull market.
Sunday
POACHING
Co. Opens for Brunch
Chelsea's buzziest new pizza tour de force is going the brunch route with a special Sunday pie called the Bird Nest, topped with béchamel, buffalo mozzarella, Gruyère, asparagus and two poached eggs. Sadly, the Bloody Mary Calzone is still a work in progress.
Monday
GOSSIP
School Girls and Free Tequila Shots
Gossip Girl continues to infect the UES, as mild-mannered restaurant Park Avenue Winter celebrates its cameo on the show by dishing out free dinners and tequila shots to anyone dressed as a schoolgirl. (We hear this is also big in Japan.)
Tuesday
MEATING
Big Apple BBQ Passes Go on Sale
Advance tickets to the annual Midtown meatfest just went on the block, offering you an all-day pass to 14 different styles of regional barbecue and a metric ton of coleslaw.
