Brasserie 8½ transforms its lounge into a fancy new "dessert lounge" (read: lounge stays the same, dessert menu is new)...complete with a tasty-looking smattering of cupcakes and toasted coconut popsicles. Named After 8.5, the lounge opens nightly, oddly enough, at 8:30.
East Village anti-club Nublu turns five, and to celebrate, Moby and Kudu are spinning at the Friday anniversary party. No gifts, please...
Take in a little scene with your Friday morning coffee...think of it as the Italian/West Village cousin of the Balthazar breakfast: homemade pastries with Campari marmalade, anise donuts and a brilliant grilled pizza with sunnyside-up egg and pancetta.
Up to 40% off the Italian luxe shoemaster's best brogues and accessories.
Jack Spader Mordechai Rubenstein will be hawking $45 ties from his vintage tie collection (dubbed Mr. Mort for Jack Spade), all from the comfort of a large wooden desk on the sidewalk outside the Jack Spade store in Soho. Shopping without going into a store? Perfect.
The 2007 HBO Summer Film Festival, better known as Movie Mondays in Bryant Park, kicks off Monday with the Woody Allen New York classic Annie Hall. Channel your inner neurotic, nebbish, Jewish New Yorker. The lawn opens at 5 for blankets and the flick kicks off at dusk.
Sometimes the underachiever in you just wants to minor league it. For a chill time head to the Brooklyn Cyclones season opener against the Staten Island Yankees. Think of it as another opportunity to grab a hot dog at Nathan's.
