The Weekender
The NY Weekend Starts Here
The weekend is gonna be a stunner.
|
THURSDAY PERKS
Perks
comes through in style, with 30% off Steven Alan's entire collection
to help you adapt sartorially (and economically) to the sunnier
climate. There's also a little something for her...
411: UD Perks |
|
THURSDAY DOCKING
The
nautical-minded cocktail hotspot finally whips up some midday grub. We
recommend you slide into a window seat early, order up a plate of Coca-Cola
Ribs and let the 99-cent beers tide you over through the sunset...over scenic
Hoboken.
411: Starting at 12pm, 425 W. St (at 11th), 212-645-5668 |

FRIDAY AL FRESCO
The al fresco institution reopens for summer, fortified with a newly revamped drink list, including a house
recipe white sangria that she'll love, and enough cocktails to make you forget
you're in midtown.
411: 109 E. 50th St (entrance on Park), 212-593-3333 |
|
FRIDAY ASIAN SWING
Dim Sum Swing Party
Chinatown's Grand Harmony resto, in an intriguing and
somewhat necessary culture clash, is hosting Friday Swing this week, featuring
a Lindy-Hopping dance floor
and mountains of barbecued pork.
411: Apr 18, 94 Mott St (between Canal and Hester), 212-226-6603, $15 |
|
WEEKEND ARMADA
The NoHo
tapas spot celebrates its first birthday by bringing in two of Spain's most
respected chefs (including one from the legendary El
Bulli) to put together extra menus for the week...assuming they can get
that Ibérico Ham past customs.
411: 45 Bond St (near Lafayette), 212-529-8600 |
|
WEEKEND SALE-ING
The mini department store is forsaking worldly
goods, cutting up to 50% off housewares and clothing from the Finnish Marimekko,
the Italian KCC Roma and the globe-trotting John Robshaw—all laid out under a tent in the store's back
yard.
411: April 17 through 20, 803-805 Washington St (between Horatio and Gansevoort), 212-229-2292 Mandarina Duck The Italian leather magnates are throwing their first ever sample sale, with up to 70% off leather messenger bags, wallets and luggage, in exchange for cold hard cash. 411: Apr 21 through 25, 10am-6pm, 38 W. 21st St (between 5th and 6th), 7th Floor |
|
SATURDAY ALOHA
The
high-end boutique opens its first non-Hawaiian location in Hudson Square, with the likes of
3.1 Phillip Lim and Obedient Sons filling out the shelves. No need to say
mahalo.
