The week is sweaty. The weekend is glistening.
PERKS
1 New Perk
It's too hot for stubble, so Perks is hooking you up with a gift card and a free starter kit from Art of
Shaving, including a badger brush and an aftershave balm. Think of it as extreme exfoliation.

BRITISH INVASION
LES Gets a London Pop-Up
For the next three weeks, the LES is swapping shops with London's Newburgh Quarter in a sartorial exchange
program, which means you'll get a shot at the Carnaby Street gear you usually only see on Daniel
Craig—stuff like modish polos, skinny silk scarves and the ultimate British fashion accessory, the
fluorescent suit. (Warning: do not look directly at the suit.)

SALE-ING
Up to 50% Off at Freemans
The hunting lodge haberdashery is cleaning house, which means you'll get half off summer cardigans and 40
percent off handmade leather belts, along with the rare chance to buy the pool table and various antiques
that decked out its old digs. Sadly, there's no taxidermy on sale, so you'll have to take down that pheasant
yourself.

JUST SAY NO
Candy Crack Delivery
If you've ever wanted a grown man in a dolphin costume to deliver you sugar crystals disguised as crack
cocaine, your time is now. This Saturday, the world's most whimsical drug delivery service will cart candy
rocks to your door in dime bags for a dollar apiece. The catch: it's only happening in
Williamsburg…which makes a certain amount of sense.

CLAM UP
Clambake at 10 Downing
New England's most time-honored culinary tradition is coming to the West Village. That's right, it's
clambake time. Stop by Sunday or Monday night and you'll find yourself on the business end of a pound of
Maine lobster, with a spread of prawns and (naturally) a clam or two on the side. You won't get the full
clam-cracking-and-butcher-paper treatment, but you can always bring a mallet from home…

PLAYING THE FIELD
Outdoor Prix Fixe in East Hampton
This haute barnyard feast puts you at a linen-draped table in a sun-dappled field with over 100 other lucky
strangers, working your way through five courses of fare grown and cooked not 500 feet from where you're
sitting. And as of this Tuesday, they're taking the show to East Hampton, which means it'll be one of the
ritziest sun-dappled fields this side of Westchester.
