The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
The weekend will be outside all weekend.
|
FRIDAY PERKS
This week's perk charts you a nautical route to
the Hamptons...giving you one less reason to drive through Queens.
411: UD Perks |
|
FRIDAY OWLING
You'll have yet another
opportunity to get through the door of this
cozy West Village favorite, now that they're rolling out a midday menu featuring
Sangria Skirt Steak and Spiced Fries. Unfortunately, they're only
opening five tables to reservations, so you'll still have to use some charm to
get seated. Not that that's ever been a problem... 411: 90 Bedford St (at Grove), 212-741-4695 |
|
SATURDAY ROOFING
The Met
tries its hand at a rooftop lounge, with cocktails, sandwiches and an enormous
metallic-green balloon animal. The park view should cancel out the eerie feeling
you're at an oversized child's birthday party.
411: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 5th Ave (at 82nd St), 212-535-7710 |
|
SATURDAY GALOSHING
The
old-school Scandanavian clothing line is taking to the streets, with a
pedal-powered wagon selling sneakers, boots and spring jackets. And unlike the
usual street goods, you won't regret your purchase ten minutes later.
411: Apr 26, 10am to 5pm, Christopher Park (at Grove and Christopher) |
|
SATURDAY FRITATTA
The UWS sibling of the beloved clam shack unveils sidewalk seating and
a brand new brunch, including Crab Benny and Eggs Latino, in case
you're tired of Eggs Caucasian.
411: 568 Amsterdam Ave (between 87th and 88th), 212-799-7400 |
|
WEEKEND SALE-ING
L'Uomo Closeout Sale
The West
Village globetrotters lost their lease to Ralph Lauren, but their loss is your
gain. Before they move to West 4th, they're
clearing house with 50% to 70% off their stock of Italian designer shirts and jackets.
411: Through Apr 30, 383 Bleecker St (at Perry), 212-206-1844 |
|
SUNDAY TAKE COVERS
MoMA takes us
through a decade of legendary Esquire covers ('62 to '72, for the curious) in
gallery form. Highlights include Muhammad Ali as St. Sebastian, Norman Mailer as King
Kong and Nixon caught putting on makeup. Man at his best...
411: MoMA, 11 W. 53rd St (between 5th and 6th Ave), 212-708-9400 |
