The weekend is sympathizing with underdogs, just before crushing them.
LEARNING THE ROPES
Coco de Mer Launches Sex Classes
You'll always remember the heartwarming specifics of your first bondage experience (ah, the innocence of
middle school). Still, at the first in this new series of sex classes, you'll get a hands-on update in
technique—body harnesses and beyond—from an instructor who wrote a book about it (we're going to
go ahead and call it the book).

CUBA LIBRE
Live Cuban at Thom Bar
Lately, your Sunday nights have been lacking that crucial, Penelope Cruz-endorsed Cuban music and mojito
element. This ends now, as renowned cha-cha and mambo masters Grupo Irek, of old Socialista fame, take over
the Thom Bar. Penelope has never steered you wrong.

TOP BANANA
Bananas Foster Boozy Custard at Shake Shack
Taking a break from tending to your New York-based cravings, Danny Meyer looks to New Orleans, churning out
creamy bananas foster frozen custard, with bananas, vanilla and plenty of rum. Because the Saints won the
Super Bowl. And...rum.

BYO BODY
Naked Painting Party at Gallery Bar
You're a humble admirer of the trinity: art, charity and nude body painting. So you'll happily lend your
material self to this good cause, aided by professional artists and an open bar. You'll paint your gorgeous,
uninhibited friends. They'll paint you. We're thinking the small of her back would be a nice place for some
nihilistic Postimpressionism.

- Feb 24, doors 7pm, party 8pm, $20, Gallery Bar, 120 Orchard St (near Delancey), RSVP here or 646-525-9791
