The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
The weekend: It's there, and it cares about you.
|
THURSDAY PADDLING
The Grand Opening kids give their ping pong-themed event space a second life with a single '60s-era table,
a live camera on the website for internet glory and a generous BYOB policy. In other
words, it's the rec room you've always wanted.
411: Grand Opening, 139 Norfolk St (between Rivington and Stanton), 646-478-7689 |
|
SATURDAY STORE-ING
The West Coast cardigan mavens pop up in Soho with enough short sleeves and pullovers to
last you…through the weekend.
411: July 19-21, 201 Mulberry St (between Kenmare and Spring) |
|
SATURDAY HORSEPLAY
The sport of dukes and rajahs returns to the Hamptons, with the best players in the world competing for one
of the sport's highest honors. Also, the most sundresses and white suits since the last time you
watched polo in the Hamptons.
411: 4-7pm, Saturdays through Aug 23, JetOne Jets Field at Two Trees Farm, 849 Hayground Rd, Bridgehampton, NY |
|
SUNDAY ARCHAEOLOGY
Steiner Sports has looted Yankee Stadium in its 11th hour to come up with a few relics from the Bronx
Bombers' final season at the park, including a third-base
bag signed by Derek Jeter and a 50-year-old
clubhouse trunk. Supply is extremely limited, though: Apparently Steinbrenner's changed the locks.
411: Steiner Sports |

WEDNESDAY CRABS
The Alphabet City agriculturalists are starting up a weekly crab fest, where $35 will get you a newspapered
table, mallets and all the crabs you can fit in your belly. And, if all the Old Bay goes to your head,
another $15 gets you a pitcher of local beer.
411: Wednesdays through Aug 27, 190 Ave B (at 12th St), 212-388-1990 |
