There's always a reason to celebrate—like the one-year anniversary of a restaurant, for instance. To
commemorate this event at Michelin-starred Rouge Tomate, you can raise a glass of bubbly on us... Salut.

SALE-ING
75% Off John Varvatos
No stranger to the sample sale, the world's chief purveyor of rock-and-roll-inspired menswear is dropping
three-quarters off the price of its sweaters and leather jackets. Across the city, there are even more coats
and suiting at the first-ever JV warehouse sale. It's almost too much. Almost.

MEAT MARKET
Homegrown Kobe Hits City Delis
While the Japanese continue to worship American pop culture, we've quietly been coveting their sliced meat.
And thanks to some great advances in the world of deli-meat technology, you can now find American-raised
Kobe-style beef, sliced for sandwiches, at your local market. We're coming for your robots next.

- Available at Zabar's, Gourmet Garage, Westside Market, Agata & Valentina, and others
BREAKFAST BREWS
Bia's All-You-Can-Drink Beer Brunch
All right, it's not quite all you can drink. But when you order brunch fusion like Daikon Corned Beef
Hash or Pandan Pancakes With Lemongrass Sausage, the Vietnamese beer garden will give you two
free hours to knock back as much Asian beer as possible. Yes, friends, the Asian beer gauntlet has
officially been laid.
- 411:
- Starts Saturday, Bia Garden, 154 Orchard St, 212-780-0010
SALE-ING II
Up to 80% Off Duckie Brown
When hand-tailored suits are going for 300 bucks, it either means they fell off a truck or sample sale. When
it's the latter, and designed by a mold-breaking, avian-named duo known for their bold colors and atypical
cuts, it's a done deal. You had us at wax pea coat.
- 411:
- Saturday, 12-5pm, cash only, Duckie Brown at the penthouse at Morgans Hotel, 237 Madison Ave, 212-686-0300
BOOZE BRUNCHING II
Tequila Brunching at Mayahuel
The
East Village tequila temple launches brunch service this Sunday, and you can expect south of the border
specialties like El Ranchero (an unholy pairing of hanger steak, pork belly and plantains) along
with a laundry list of 'quila-based cocktails and punches. Because if there is one thing missing from the
modern brunch, it is the flavor of pure agave…

- Starts Sunday, 11am-4pm, Mayahuel, 304 E. 6th St, 212-253-5888
ON A BOAT
Football and S'mores at Frying Pan
You no longer have to choose between camping, boating or watching sports, because the city's premier docked
party barge is extending its run at Chelsea Piers, and they're adding a communal bonfire and Monday Night
Football projected on a12-foot screen. Grahams, chocolate and marshmallow go for three bucks—a mere
pittance to get that upstate feeling on a barge on the west side.

- Monday, 6:30pm-1am, Frying Pan, Pier 66, 212-989-6363
