The weekend is out of the office.
This week, Perks is giving you and your tennis partner a chance at 60 minutes on the court with the legendary John McEnroe, who'll give you tips on everything from strengthening your second serve to the proper way to berate a myopic line judge. Yes, we are being serious.
If the only thing missing from your spiked-tea Hollywood nights was a little daylight, fear not. You can now drop into h.wood for lunch (or weekend brunch), to be washed down with any of more than 300 teas—a few of which now involve champagne and sangria.

Each Monday at Cube, the barstools are now the best seats in the house—that's where dessert will be getting the small-plates treatment. You'll have five options each week, from cakes to tarts to a Peanut Butter-Caramelized Bacon Ice Cream Sandwich on Raspberry Brioche. And nothing's over five bucks.
