You've may have heard of the fried chicken extravaganza going down at Williamsburg's newest bowling
alley/bar/music hall, but what we're most excited about is pairing a bottle of Veuve with things like
Egg Shooters, pulled-pork French bread pizzas, spiked bourbon milk shakes and all manner of other
fresh Blue Ribbon goods for the sampling. They'll even carry it out to you on the lanes—because a
little bourbon can do wonders for your spin.

The finest (yo-yo) athletes in the world descend on South Street Seaport this Saturday for an afternoon of
fearsome tricks, live rock and a gold-plated yo-yo for whoever's foolish enough to drop $350 for it. The
glory, of course, will last forever.
It's tasted the wrath of torch-wielding East Villagers and the State Liquor Authority, but the infamous
late-night hookah lounge with the more infamous Sunday night simply refuses to die. This Sunday, it reopens
in its old stomping grounds with a new set of kumquat-infused cocktails and the same Mediterranean madcap
scene that got you in trouble back in April. Hopefully the bouncer still remembers you.
