It's always sunny in the weekend.
PERKS
1 New Perk
This week's perk brings you a spot in Mekhong's new Ports of Call program—an inside line to a world of
exclusive cocktails, free appetizers and reserved seats at spots all over town. That is, more or less the
way you're living now…

STAGE FRIGHT
Air Sex World Championship
A strange Japanese subculture goes above ground this Friday, with a few dozen fully clothed souls taking to
the stage to simulate the act of love with the same attention to detail usually applied to an
instrument-less Eddie Van Halen solo. As mandated by state law, it's all fake, but the awkwardness is very,
very real.
- 411:
- $15, doors at 8pm, June 12, Highline Ballroom, 431 W. 16th St, 212-414-5994, tickets here
BIG POPPA
30% Off at Jack Spade
The good news: you've got until next Sunday to come up with a Father's Day gift. The better news: the city's
quirkiest bag-makers are offering up dad-friendly duds like repp ties, twill wallets, work aprons (the
manliest kind of apron) and duffle bags at 30 percent off. Dad jokes are required on entry.
- 411:
- Through June 22, 400 Bleecker St, 212-675-4085 and 56 Greene St, 212-625-1820
MONTAUKING
Yacht Club's 80th Anniversary Bash
Montauk's bootlegging waypoint-turned-hotel is getting back to its roots with a night of country club
cocktails—including a house version of the mint julep—and casino-style roulette, craps and
blackjack. The downside: you'll be playing with Montauk Money, which won't even get you a mojito at the Surf
Lodge.
- 411:
- $50-$85, June 13, 32 Star Island Road, Montauk, 631-668-3100, or email for tickets
SEA SHANTY
Brunch at Butcher Bay
The city just got a grizzled new brunch option, with Alphabet City's saltiest bistro serving up Banana
Stuffed French Toast and Eggs Benedict with Lobster Hollandaise starting this weekend. Pirate
supplies are available on request.
- 411:
- 11:30am-5pm, Saturdays and Sundays, Butcher Bay, 511 E 5th St, 212-260-1333
TUMBLIN' DICE
A $29 Train Ticket to Atlantic City
A ride to the nearest gambling den just got a whole lot cheaper. Coach tickets to Vegas East on the
legendary ACES
train are now a piddling $29, or about the price of your first hand of blackjack.

- $29, through July 5, ACES train, 877-326-7428
