Summer. It's official.
Starting tonight, upscale Russian club/spa/banya Okeanos will have a live jazz trio, free vodka and complimentary hors d'oeuvres on summer Thursdays. This obviously fulfills your desire to get brushed with birch leaves before taking the bassline for a walk.

The McCarren Park Pool once again gets filled with hipsters instead of water as the JellyNYC Pool Parties kick off this Sunday with recently reunited rockers Superchunk. In addition to the bands, there are DJs, Slip 'N Slides, hot dogs and Brooklyn beer to keep you busy. Look for TV on the Radio, The Beastie Boys, Feist and Cat Power later in the season.
How did Wall Street go so long without a Thomas Pink store? And more importantly, how did Hermes out-bigtime Thomas Pink by opening a larger store on Pink's natural turf (4,000 to 3,000 square feet)?
The sale includes apparel, footwear and accessories from luxed-out Japanese sportswear designer Yohji Yamamoto (for Adidas). Look good when you sweat.
UD is cosponsoring a lunch break to top all lunch breaks...massage, haircut, hot towel service and shoeshines from models. All gratis at Luna Park in Union Square, along with complimentary Balance Bars and fresh lime-infused waters. Your afternoon is already looking up.
