Neither one of us wants to be the first to say it’s the weekend.
PERK ALERT
A Six-Course James Beard Dinner
Hope you’re hungry for Perks: we’ve got a six-course, wine-paired dinner
at the James Beard House; two hours of bottomless drinks at the Churchill for 30 bucks; and a perfect French-minded
date of hors d’oeuvres and cocktails at Cantine Parisienne. We assume you saved room for cocktails.
ICE ICE BABY
Just Some Ancient Ice Blocks
Iceberg right ahead. That’s a thing you’re totally going to be able to say at this PS1 exhibit. Which is
basically a big room full of 800-year-old glaciers for you to get cool by and marvel at. Get it, because
it’s summer.
- 411:
- Through Sep 2, Olafur Eliasson: Your Waste of Time at MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave (at 46th Ave), Long Island City, 718-784-2084
GO FOURTH
Beds, Chains and Lobster
Normally, if we told you about a place with massive sculptures of bunk beds chained together and suspended
from the ceiling by a California artist, you’d say, “Weird.” But when we say you’re eating roasted
lamb leg and lobster pasta there, you say, “Show me.” So that’s what we’re doing.
- 411:
- Now open, The Fourth at Hyatt Union Square, 132 4th Ave (at E 13th), 212-432-1324, see the slideshow
SALE-ING
The First-Ever Ovadia Sample Sale
There’s a time and a place for stunning unstructured blazers and M65 jackets the likes of which haven’t
been this handsome since the ’60s. That time/place: the Ovadia & Sons sample sale in SoHo. And as it
happens, the first-ever of those is happening today and Sunday. It’s fate.
- 411:
- May 17, 9am-4pm; May 19, 11am-5pm; Ovadia & Sons Sample Sale, 155 Wooster St (at Houston), Ste 4R
ON A QUEST
This Is Questlove’s Chicken Shack
It’s official. There’s not a thing on this planet that Questlove doesn’t have his hand in. Because now
he’s got a takeout chicken shack at Chelsea Market. You’ve got buckets of his fowl, a cupcake called
Miso Ho-ney and a watermelon-jalapeño slushy. He should try music sometime.
- 411:
- Opens May 18, Hybird at Chelsea Market, 75 9th Ave (between 15th and 16th), 212-989-3332
A TURNAROUND
It’s Pizza Brunch. It’s Prunch.
In Little Italy, there’s a pizza speakeasy. That’s old news by now. But what’s new: they’ve got a
hangover pizza. It’s got soppressata, buffalo mozzarella, red onions, egg and mushrooms on it. And if you
combine it with their Bloody Mary, poof. No more hangover.
- 411:
- Sat-Sun, 11am-4pm, 180 Neapolitan Eatery, 180 Hester St (at Mulberry), 2nd Fl, 212-334-3811
