PERKS

3 New Perks

This week's perks bring you a Wimbledon bash at Rockefeller Center, a gratis cocktail at Rouge Tomate and some of LA's finest summer gear, including a portable grill small enough to smuggle into the nearest rooftop bar. (Try it at your own risk.)

411:: UD Perks

SALE-ING

40% Off at Kesner

The velvety haute West Village menswear den is turning its lower level over to low-key up-and-comers like Tim Hamilton, Patrik Ervell and Gilded Age, and heaping on the discounts. Because when the going gets tough, the tough buy creek boots.

411:: Kesner, 524 Hudson St (between Charles and 10th St), 212-206-6330

SALE-ING, PART II

70% Off at Hugo Boss

The suiting magnate is holding an off-site sample sale, with tempting deep markdowns on jeans, leather jackets and power suits, perfect for your next biker gang/board meeting.

411:: June 20-24, 9am-5pm (and later), Soiffer Haskin, 317 West 33rd St, 718-747-1656

SELECTIVE

Bratwurst Delivery From Café Select

This scene-y Soho Swiss hangout is packing up its best beef consommé, fruit pies and Croque Monsieur sandwiches, and delivering them to whichever downtown apartment you happen to find yourself in tonight. But if you've got company, we'd suggest something a little more romantic than bratwurst…

411:: Until 10pm, Café Select, 212 Lafayette, 212-925-9322, see menu here

WAREHOUSING

Taschen Warehouse Sale

This highbrow coffee-table book blowout is offering 50 to 75 percent off the usual stock of glossy, pretty things, along with a line of collectors' items that include the perfect Father's Day gift: a first edition of The Godfather. If it's sold out, you can always nab that Georgia O'Keeffe monograph Pops had his eye on…

411:: 11am-8pm, June 19-20; 12pm-8pm, June 21, 107 Greene St, 212-226-2212

UNGULATES

Goat Spit Summer Throwdown

Roasting season is back, starting with this Cobble Hill goat roast featuring a bike-powered spit, a radical beekeeper and a special presentation from a "mayoral candidate" called Reverend Billy. In fact, the bicycle-power goat-meat bonanza may be the least crazy thing here.

411:: $5, 2-9pm, June 20, Sackett St (at Henry St), email for info

FREAK FLAGS WILL FLY

Don Hill's Final Panty Party

West Soho descends into depraved anarchy with the final edition of Don Hill's infamous underwear-oriented dance party. In short, it's history in the making. Expect half-a-dozen DJs, a cohort of frighteningly skimpy outfits and a scene unfettered by the laws of God or man.
