THE COOLER
Personal Beer Coolers at Tuck Shop
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.

MEN'S DEPARTMENT
Hermès Men's Store
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.

RISING DOUGH
Ovest Pizzoteca Opens in Chelsea
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.

- Ovest Pizzoteca, 513 W 27th St (near 10th Ave), 212-967-4392, see the menu
PROPS OF LOVE
Sorrow for Sale at Partners & Spade
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.
- 411:
- Items for sale, proceeds to charity, noon-6pm, Partners & Spade, 40 Great Jones St (near Bowery), 646-861-2827
LOVELY RITA
Rita's Italian Ice
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.

- 11am-11pm, Rita's Italian Ice, 2486 Broadway (near 93rd St)
