BARFLIES
Half-Off Happy Hour at Bar Blanc Bistro
After a one-day closure, the whitewashed wonderland is reemerging with a new name (check the "bistro" on the
end), a half-off happy hour for anyone slick enough to stop by in the first week and a new bar menu packed
with greasy treats like Pancetta-Wrapped Sardines and something called The Blanc Burger.
We'd use the half-off savings to burn through twice as many cocktails.

HOGS
Hill Country's Whole Pig Roast
The Texas market-style barbecue pit is putting a 45-pound suckling pig (courtesy of meat master Pat
LaFrieda) through their smokers every Tuesday and serving it up alongside their usual smorgasbord of
brisket, mac and cheese and well-earned heart attacks.

SOFT SHELL
Lobster Meatballs at Ed's Lobster Bar
You love lobsters. You love meatballs. But never in your wildest dreams did you think of co-mingling the two
delicacies. Luckily, the folks at Ed's Lobster Bar are of more imaginative stock, swapping out the usual
beef for the crustacean, stewing it in marinara and serving it all over linguini—which happens to be
your third favorite thing.

- Every Wednesday, Ed's, 222 Lafayette St (S. of Spring), 212-343-3236
ISLANDERS
The Surf Lodge Opens for Reservations
Get your dialing finger ready. Montauk's slacker-luxe alternative to Hamptons scenery is taking resys
starting this Wednesday, which means you'll have at least a week before it's booked…and another month
or so to prepare for a weekend of beachbound movies, crowded hot tubs and the occasional disgruntled townie.
