The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
Finally, some recognition for all that labor...
|
THURSDAY PERK
Whether it's tennis, Broadway or MSG, we've got a guy (okay, a website) who can get you the primo,
sold-out, line-free tickets you know you deserve.
411: UD Perks |
|
THURSDAY PARTY LINE
Socialista's downstairs has been closed for a while—planning for the revolution, we assumed—but
it's gotten a second life as a lounge, opening quietly today for some not-so-quiet weekly parties.
411: Thursdays, 505 West St (between Jane and Horatio), 212-929-4303 |
|
FRIDAY PARKING
If you can't make it out to Flushing, you can always catch a few matches on the live feed in the park, with
bleachers and a big screen to convince you you're there, and concession stands from Hill Country and
Shake Shack to remind you why you aren't.
411: Aug 29-Sept 7, Madison Square Park, 1 23rd St (at Broadway), 212-538-6667 |
|
WEEKEND SALE-ING
This short and sweet sale is giving 25 percent off all short-sleeve button-downs, henleys, polos and,
naturally, shorts. Here's hoping global warming gives you a few more chances to wear them. 411: Sept 2-16, 8 Rivington St (between Bowery and Christie), 212-673-3209 Barneys New York This Barneys sale has been going on for weeks, but this weekend is when the especially bargain-minded folks head over. By Saturday afternoon, markdowns should top 70 percent, and the Chelsea warehouse will be ripe for plunder. 411: Aug 30, 255 W. 17th St (between 7th and 8th), 212-450-8400 |
|
MONDAY BOW TIES
The ex-Trovata prepsters think outside of the shirts/pants box with their new line of accessories, including
an embossed wallet, an oxblood leather briefcase and a few restrained bow ties that may have you
reconsidering your dedication to the Windsor.
411: Available now at Barneys New York, 660 Madison (between 60th and 61st), 212-754-7940 |
