The Weekender

Poolside Sushi, Rooftop Movies and Maialino

Go running for the shelter of your weekend’s little helper.

Thursday
Italian Omakase at Maialino. Get Hungry.
Mai Mai

Italian Omakase at Maialino. Get Hungry.

You’ve always thought taking risks was essential. So you’ll be happy to know that putting your life and hunger in the chef’s hands at Maialino with four courses of family-style deliciousness is possible with their new Ci Pensiamo Noi (basically, Italian omakase). Yeah, probably not much of a risk.

Levi’s Made & Crafted for a Song
SALE-ING

Levi’s Made & Crafted for a Song

Levi’s. You recall hearing the name, somewhere along the line. And right now you can stock up on their spring-weight denim and maybe a few Western shirts from the Made & Crafted and Vintage Clothing operations for a lot less than usual. They seem to know their way around denim.

Friday
World-Class Poolside Sushi in SoHo
KOI POND

World-Class Poolside Sushi in SoHo

Koi’s crispy rice and spicy tuna is one of the great Japanese-ish dishes in this city. Pools are one of the great aquatic structures to swim in. And here’s when you find out how those things connect. Koi’s taking over the poolside bar at the Trump SoHo. Logic, meet sushi.

Watching Movies on an LES Rooftop
HIGH ART

Watching Movies on an LES Rooftop

The mere mention of “rooftops” fills your heart with glee. So... rooftops. Rooftops playing indie shorts and doing screenings with Noah Baumbach. That’s what this series is. It starts on the top of a building at the Open Road Rooftop on the LES this weekend. A very good place to start.

Starts May 10, $13, Rooftop Films, various locations, 718-417-7362

Sunday
A Room of Rain at MoMA
HARD RAIN
