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.)
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,

This scene-y Soho Swiss hangout is packing up its best beef consommé, fruit pies and Croque

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
