1 New Perk
This week's Perk brings you into the rough and tumble world of celebrity chefs, with a membership to a cabal

HIGH ON THE HOG
Mangalitsa Pigs at Klee
The Spotted Pig blew through all the Mangalitsa
they had in one hour, and now the wooly, deliciously marbled beast is being served up at...Klee. Yes, the
surprisingly low-key Chelsea café is slicing up a three-course prix fixe that peaks with a
crispy-skinned chunk of perfectly slow-cooked Mangalitsa, surrounded by sweet potatoes, fall greens and
adoring, fawning foodies.

- Starting Sept 24, Klee, 200 9th Ave (at 22nd St), 212-633-8033
WAGONS WEST
Odin's New Digs
Apparently peacoats are having a bull market. The hipster menswear preachers at Bergdorf-lite Odin are
setting up shop—their third in the city now—in the West Village with an upcoming house cologne
line and some limited-edition shoes to go along with the usual upscale jeans, shirts and the like. Consider
it your new Spotted Pig pre-party.

Paradou's Foie Gras Menu
The MPD's overachieving little brother just learned a new trick: the foie gras tasting menu. This side menu
offers five different varieties of sublime savoriness for your sampling pleasure, including a Foie Gras
Flan shaped into a custard—which should fill the hole in your heart left by the disappearance of
the foie
gras doughnut.

- Available now, Paradou, 8 Little W. 12th St (at Gansevoort), 212-463-8345
SOUL POWER
GoldBar Gets Funky Now
We just found a runner-up to your lifelong dream of appearing on Soul Train: Monday night, GoldBar is
transforming into Frankie Jackson's Soul Kitchen, the classic funk-fueled dance party complete with
disco ball, Colt 45 and some of the funkiest rhinestone-encrusted vinyl cuts the earth has ever seen. Don
Cornelius would approve.

SALE-ING
70% Off Claiborne by John Bartlett
The straightforward and casually handsome gear birthed from the John Bartlett and Claiborne's fine work
together—crew neck sweatshirts, slim jackets and rugby-striped polos—are going for 70 percent
off. The crowd should be casually handsome as well.
