The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
A little weekend never hurt anyone.
|
THURSDAY PERK
This week's perk has Classic Car Club taking you on a 100-mile jaunt (think of it as a really fast road
trip) upstate in their best rides, competing to see who can get out of the city the fastest. Last one
back's a rotten egg.
411: UD Perks |

FRIDAY ROGUERY
The Maine-based rugged nautical buffs are opening up their first New York showroom for wholesale
buyers…and well-connected followers of fashion. Just use the private email and they'll set you up
with a personal shopper to guide you to the deck shoes that bring out your eyes.
411: 33 W. 26th St (between Broadway and 6th Ave), 4th Floor, sales@roguesgallery.com |

SATURDAY BAKING
Those years of baking finally pay off at this old-fashioned pie competition, where you'll test your skills
against the best amateurs in the city. Top Chef Dave Martin is on hand to taste the results and compliment
you on your latticing. If you're not too busy with your drink, that is.

SATURDAY SALE-ING
This hectic sale pulls together everything from all three Oak locations into their Bond Street shop,
including designer samples and surplus from the in-house labels. And just to keep things edgy, they're only
taking cash.411: July 25-27, 28 Bond St (between Lafayette and Bowery), 212-677-1293 Environment Furniture The eco-artisans are making room for more peroba wood with 20-70 percent off floor samples, overstock and discontinued designs. 411: July 25-27, 876 Broadway (between 18th and 19th St), 212-780-0051 |

SUNDAY PONG
The frustratingly clothed entrepreneurs come to Union Square for an afternoon of outdoor paddling, with
nationally ranked pros as reinforcements. Any fight-clubbing should be purely pong-based.
411: 12pm, July 27, Union Square (14th St at Broadway), more info here |

SUNDAY HPSTRS
The indie rockers with a song-of-the-summer contender converge on Williamsburg's favorite outdoor venue for
a free show to appease the hook-hungry masses. Expect tight pants and heat-driven madcap dancing.
411: 2pm-dusk, July 27, McCarren Park Pool, 780 Lorimer St (between Driggs and Bayard) |
