The weekend invented the snow day.
Drop by this tiny haven of meat pie devotion to receive an esky, which sounds like an award. Actually, in its own special way, it is: the little Australian beach drinking coolers will now be enabling your...non-beach drinking. You'll lift the lid to find six Coopers Pale Ales chilling on ice. No acceptance speech necessary.
Hermès men's items like bespoke suits, leather wallets and silk twill neckties have moved across the street to open the world's first Hermès men's store. Also, an $8,500 handmade baseball glove and ball. For those days when you find yourself playing a little hardball. On a mega-yacht.
You're always on the lookout for newly budding empires. Specifically, pizza empires built on pepperoni and hubris. Enter Ovest, the Chelsea spawn of East Village pizza artists Luzzo's, churning out meat-and-cheese-laden panini and pizza 'a frusta: brick-oven-baked loaves stuffed with salami, prosciutto, mozzarella and mushrooms. Let us pray they use their brick oven powers for good.
Sometimes relationships end, leaving you with a treasure trove of emotions. And by emotions we mean your ex's junk: books, the odd piece of lingerie kicked under the bed, maybe a blender. You can donate it to Partners & Spade, and come Valentine's Day, dig through other people's mementos, gaining precious, vague insight into the breakups of...people you don't know. Call it a closure sale.
In a move of mind-boggling strategic audacity, Pennsylvania cult dessertmonger Rita's Italian Ice is opening its first New York location on the heels of a devastating blizzard. They're celebrating with new flavors like chocolate chip and offering free ice if you show up on Sunday. It's an Italian ice shop with nothing to lose.
The Barneys warehouse sale begins anew today, which conveniently translates to 50% to 75% off blizzard-resistant fare like warm flannel sport shirts, mountain boots and cashmere gloves. They're even opening at 8am tomorrow, which has no bearing on your life whatsoever...
SoHo purveyor of tastefully ruffled suavity is lopping 60% off of most of its stock. You may find yourself outfitted in wool blazers, cotton button-downs and Richard Chai pea coats. And other specimens of functional rakishness.
