The weekend is barbecuing everything in sight.
ACE IN THE HOLE
The Ace Hotel Lobby Bar Opens
You're probably a bit curious about the much-discussed Flatiron hipster crash pad, and while the
bar's not technically open until Friday, that shouldn't stop you from nabbing a spot on one of
the flannel couches tonight, tucking into some caramel popcorn (or maybe the crispy pork scratching)
and ordering up a few incognito manhattans.
- 411:
- Now open, Ace Hotel, 20 W. 29th St (at Broadway), 212-679-2222
SPARE CHANG
Off the Menu at Momofuku's Momobar
Unbeknownst to your neighbors, Ssam Bar's boozy, experimental, afterhours alter ego has been mixing up an
off-the-menu concoction known as the Negroni Cory Lane (after the beloved GM) with Tyrconnell whiskey,
Carpano Antica vermouth and a dash of Aperol. Since we know how much you love an experimental Negroni with a
good pork shoulder, we thought you should know…

- Momofuku, 207 2nd Ave (at 13th St)
CHOW DOWN
Philippe Moves to the Hamptons
Mr. Chow (Philippe, to his friends) is setting up a long-awaited Hamptons outpost, with all the Peking duck
and complement of cougars you're used to from his UES palace—transplanted just down the road
from Lily Pond. For the right price, he'll even drop by your next dinner party—in case you need a
famous chef/beach volleyball ringer.

- Philippe, 44 Three Mile Harbor Rd (at Jackson St), East Hampton, 631-907-0250
BIKINI BIKE WASH
A Clean Bike and a Rubdown
Five bucks gets you and your bike washed courtesy of a few entrepreneurial, bikini-clad hipster ladies at
this East Williamsburg storefront. Think of it as a wet and wild water fight, where everyone's a winner.
Especially you.

- $5, May 17, 12-5pm, HiChristina, 632 Grand St (E. of Leonard)
SUNDAY STIMULUS
Free Viagra Courtesy of Pfizer
No, this isn't spam and don't say big pharma never did anything for you. Any recent pink-slip recipients
taking Viagra can get a free year's supply, courtesy of the bedroom-friendly pill pushers at Pfizer.
Finally, a stimulus we can get behind.
