THIGHMASTER
Introducing the Rob Evans Sandwich
Pies 'n' Thighs is back. After more than two years, your go-to Williamsburg fried chicken and homemade pie
spot has found a new home. Better yet, there's a new winner of a brunch item on the menu—a
sausage-gravy-drenched egg-and-cheese sandwich called the Rob Evans. You've waited two years...and
Southern-fried biscuitry is your reward.

- Open now, Pies 'n' Thighs, 166 S Fourth St (at Driggs), Brooklyn, 347-529-6090
GOOD JEANS
Earnest Sewn at 75% Off
The classic denim gurus are taking 75% off, with jeans starting at $60 and denim jackets from
$50—which should make for the finest Canadian tuxedo money can buy.
- 411:
- Mar 4-7, 10am to 8pm (7pm on Sun), Earnest Sewn, 94 Orchard St (between Delancey and Broome), 212-260-0006
BUFFALO SOLDIER
...And the Buffalo Banh Mi Is Born
This midtown lunch spot just unveiled their newest creation: a Vietnamese sub piled with chicken wing meat,
Buffalo sauce and a few veggies to boot. It's disappearing as of April 1, but in the meantime it might be
the next big thing in cross-cultural sandwich diplomacy—after the sashimi burrito, of course.
- 411:
- Through Apr 1, at Cer té, 20 W 55th St (between Fifth and Sixth), 212-397-2020
DROPPING BOMBS
Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes
Nothing says St. Patrick's Day like a cupcake (other than beer, redheads or anything green), so the online
bakers at Cacao Bakery have whipped up an Irish car bomb cupcake—a chocolate Guinness cupcake topped
with Baileys ganache and stuffed with Jameson-spiked buttercream. Now if you just had something to drink
with it...

WASHINGTONS
Bar Henry Kicks Off Brunch
The Village's Old New York-styled
brasserie is kicking off Sunday mornings with $1 oysters, croque-madames and breakfast cocktails like
the rum-and-amaretto-fueled Skull and Bones. Just the sort of ominous breakfast cocktail to get the
juices flowing in the morning.
- 411:
- Sundays, noon-4pm, Bar Henry, 90 W Houston St (at W Broadway), 646-448-4559
RED CARPET
Your Oscar Party Options
If you're too paparazzi-shy to fly out to LA for the big show, you can watch the show from Hotel
Griffou and sip a gratis glass of champagne. Or if you're willing to venture to Cobble Hill,
Clover Club is having a full-scale fête, complete with caviar, truffle popcorn and a red carpet
rolled outside. You don't strictly need a tuxedo...but it never hurts.
- 411:
- Hotel Griffou, 21 W Ninth St (between Fifth and Sixth), 212-358-0228, and Clover Club, 210 Smith St (between Butler and Baltic), Brooklyn, 718-855-7939
