Thursday
Where to Party During Armory
TOL TRAIN

Where to Party During Armory

The Armory Show: it’s got art and attractive people associated with art, and it’s got Tolga. Tolga, if you don’t know, is one of the luminaries who makes Le Baron run. And his pop-up dance factory is back in action for the duration of the show. Don your best air tie.

Piora, Now a Lunch Establishment
A GOOD ’ORA

Piora, Now a Lunch Establishment

Crazy rumor going around about you liking lunch. We know, it’s insanity. But on the off chance there’s a grain of truth to it, Piora’s making you bucatini with crab and gin-ginger cocktails for that time of day. Okay, they’re making them for a few other people, too...

Mon-Fri, noon-2:30pm, Piora, 430 Hudson St (between St. Lukes and Morton), 212-960-3801, see the menu

Some Handsome Knives for Your Place
THE HOME FRONT

Some Handsome Knives for Your Place

Home stuff you don’t really need:

—A leather camping stool.
—Some century-old Turkish rugs.

Home stuff you now want anyway:
—A hand-painted Damascus-steel folding knife.
—A leather camping stool.
—Some century-old Turkish rugs.

... Yeah, you should check out this Greenpoint pop-up.

Now open, Home of the Brave, 67 West St, Unit 416 (between Milton and Noble), Brooklyn, 347-384-2776

Friday
Arlington Club’s New Blues Rock Night
COUGAR TOWN

Arlington Club’s New Blues Rock Night

We’ll put this as delicately as we possibly can: Arlington Club is where you need to be if you like cougars. And two-person côte de boeuf. And now, three-hour blues rock sets. Steak + live music + cougars: the math is on your side.

First Friday of every month, 9pm-midnight, Arlington Club, 1032 Lexington Ave (between 73rd and 74th), 212-249-5700

What Else Is New
A Couple of Frenchified Beauties
AND NOW...

A Couple of Frenchified Beauties

If you’re a Beyoncé fan: The gents behind her favorite spot, Buttermilk Channel, are now doing New Orleans French duck breast and house-cured snails at French Louie in Boerum Hill.
If you’re not: Bowery Diner is now Chez Jef, a pop-up to meet your steak frites and tartare needs.
