Weekend likes that old time rock and roll.
Things you don’t hate: beef jerky crafted in small batches from all-natural ingredients; flavors like sweet sriracha BBQ, maple buffalo bacon and “Reaper” made with the hottest pepper on earth. This stuff could do wonders for your tailgating game...
It’s the end-of-season sale over at Billy Reid, and there are just so many patterned button-downs, pebble-textured Italian-leather shoes and lambskin field jackets for the up-to-70%-off taking. Do take them.
And here’s an ongoing jerk-and-reggae fest. Your entertainment will come in the form of local (and not-local) reggae bands. Your nourishment will come in the form of jerk chicken and coconut-curry shrimp from Michelin-starred chef Michael Psilakis. Your endless Red Stripe will come in the form of endless Red Stripe.
It’s a 164-ounce Moscow Mule. It’s equivalent to 12.5 drinks (and-a-half? really?). It’s called the Mega Mule, because that’s the perfect name for it. And it’s going to either severely improve or destroy your night.
The Olympics are imminent. So here’s a posh floating fish shack and lounge with a 14-foot video wall that’ll be streaming the whole damn thing. You’ll find that competitive badminton pairs well with seaside charred octopus.
There’s a new Fleishers on the UES, with the same housemade sausage and dry-aged burgers you know from their Brooklyn shop (and/or Emmy Squared). And then there’s an August-only sandwich collaboration with the Meatball Shop: a chorizo sandwich with Oaxacan cheese, escabeche and avocado-jalapeño mayo. Solid month for meat, all around.
