The weekend is staging a last-minute rally.
SALE-ING
Gilded Age at 75% Off
The retro-Americana outfitters are offering 70 to 75 percent off flannels, jeans and everything else in

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.

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.

- Available this weekend, 113 St Marks Pl (between Ave A and 1st Ave), 212-614-2728
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.

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.

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.)
