The weekend is working for the weekend.
Your latest underground drinking den isn't visible from street level. Just find your way down some ratty steps and into a shiny, white-tiled cocktail station, with red booths, downtown hipsters and stiff drinks. It captures the subway look perfectly...but thankfully they went a different direction with the smell.
The luxury giant is offering 75 percent off, with stock replenished daily. There are great suits and shirts for the taking, so it's worth braving the melee of bloodthirsty handbag-seekers.
This local microbrew-fest spans five days, nine pub crawls, almost a hundred small labels at various stops throughout the city and one well-seasoned barbecue. It should be enough to last you the two weeks until Oktoberfest.
For their one-year anniversary, Los Dados is offering up a free margarita with each meal to anyone polite enough to mention their birthday. Of course, if you want to be really polite, you could always get them a present...
This two-block celebration of all things pickle will have specimens from all around the world, like pickled hot peppers, Chinese scallions and artichoke hearts. There will also be exclusive chocolate pickle truffles from Roni Sue for anyone with a salty-sweet streak, or anyone with a particularly vicious pickle jones.
If you're the plan-ahead kind—and you plan on passing through Europe in a few months—you might want to check out a promo from Leading Hotels of the World that lets you get a room for $19.28...provided you pre-pre-preregister now. It's a small price to pay for...well, for anything.
The LES bespoker is making house (and office) calls starting next Saturday and taking reservations now, in case your fall suits are getting threadbare. We recommend thin lapels, thick wool and a color that matches your living room.
