The weekend seems a bit overdue.
SALE-ING
80% Off Steven Alan
Tribeca shirt-making czar Steven Alan has convinced 50 of his friends to take 80 percent off their gear.

himself, so, yes, Steven Alan gear will be on sale too.

PARTY PLAN
Le Cirque Does Nightlife
After 35 years serving items flambé and refolding Anna Wintour's napkin, Sirio's French food fortress
is exploring bold new territory: parties. They'll be throwing a weekly soiree starting tonight and if it's
anything like the recent Halloween bash, there'll be no shortage of models, celebrity photographers and
scantily clad zombies requesting "Thriller."

SALE-ING II
80% Off Armani Warehouse Sale
Giorgio Armani is taking over the Metropolitan Pavilion this weekend, and he brought the whole family. Which
means Emporio, Collezioni and Armani Jeans are in the house. You can count on leather jackets, trenches, and
attractive Italians looking for jackets and trenches.

BRUNCHING
Hotel Griffou Brunch
When you're strategically hidden below 9th Street, protected from the impending cold weather, bunkering down
for brunch seems like a solid plan of attack for late November. So allow us to mention the sticky buns,
shrimp 'n' grits with merguez sausage, and lobster fondue. The four different Bloody Marys can speak for
themselves.

FEAR FACTOR
Tim Burton at the MoMA
Best known for magically giving Johnny scissor hands, turning Jack into the Joker, and creating some
expertly creepy cartoons, Tim Burton is now unearthing some sketches and sculptures. Plan on gothic whimsy.
Also plan on having nightmares after viewing.

- Nov 22–Apr 26, MoMA, 11 W. 53rd St, 212-708-9400
JOE AT JANE
Cafe Gitane Opens in The Jane Hotel
The Jane Ballroom is dark, but just when you thought all hope was lost, Nolita Euro-café stalwart
Cafe Gitane is moving into the other side of the lobby. Expect plenty of avocado toast and enough scene to
wash it down...
