Is the weekend laboring hard, or hardly laboring?
PERKS
1 New Perk
On the off chance you've got a few female acquaintances in need of gifting that incidentally benefits you,
we used our massive influence in the world of undergarments to get you a whopping 40 percent off the
lingerie you know as La Perla (not to mention the free shirt you'll get from the men's line—don't
worry: it doesn't lift or separate).

CRAWFISH
Bond St's Japanese Crawfish Boil
The densely packed scene-and-sushi spot is stretching its culinary legs with a preemptive Labor Day
grill-off. Only the baby back ribs are marinated in ginger shoyu instead of the usual barbecue sauce and the
crawfish boil uses sake broth in place of Old Bay. Hopefully you can still smuggle in a Corona…

MACROBREW
The Great World Beer Festival
Known in legend as "Brewtopia," this three-day beerfest spans 45 brewers, endless craft samples and
continuous live music played to a crowd of 15,000 in a bacchanal of sudsy bliss. Just think of it as fashion
week in reverse.

CHAMPAGNE ROOM
Unlimited Champagne Brunch at Paradou
To honor the contribution of the laboring class, the MPD's beloved bubble-centric boîte is expanding
its famous champagne brunch to Monday. They'll want the table back around nightfall…but by then
you'll be ready to move on to something a little less bubbly.

GRILLING
Endless Fried Chicken BBQ at Marfa
Sun-dappled lawns may be in short supply on our little island, but the East Village barbecue spot is making
up for it with a roof deck, an endless supply of sauce-soaked chicken and wild boar on a spit and a
chili-lime tequila shot for just $17 a head. Lawn Darts not included...

BIKER GANGS
Free Dutch Bikes Come To Bowling Green
$1600 is a lot of cheddar to drop on a bicycle, especially if you're going to leave it chained to a stop
sign every now and then. Luckily, starting this Tuesday, you can pick one up with a little less commitment.
At Bowling Green next Tuesday (and Governors Island a week later), you'll be able to take one around
Manhattan free of charge. The downside: they'll want it back, eventually.

- 11am–7pm, September 8-12, Bowling Green Park, Broadway at Beaver St
TASTEFUL NUDITY
13 Years of Nude Art
Nude art has a proud tradition of reverently contemplating of the female form. This particular show brings
together video, sculpture and photography of our favorite artistic subject, culled from the troupe's 13-year
performance history. Say it with us: "It's an examination of eroticism in contemporary society…"

- Opening party at 6pm, September 9, 3LD Center, 80 Greenwich St (at Rector)
