The Weekend Starts Here
The weekend already broke its resolutions.
Thursday

THURSDAY INTELLIGENCE
Smart Cars Land in Manhattan
The latest German two-seater is a little slower than the others, but it makes up for it with sleek design. And, of course, it's small enough to park in a Vespa space. Pretty smart.
Friday
FRIDAY LINGERIE
Passionata's new lingerie
With Valentine's Day around the corner, you are hereby allowed to schedule a meeting with yourself in order to peruse the sexy new underthings from upscale-yet-playful French lingerie line Passionata. The new line is debuting online only, broadcasting from the Crazy Horse Cabaret at noon eastern on Friday. Remember, NSFW is a state of mind.

Two Aussie Buffets
In honor of Australia Day, two of Manhattan's Aussie establishments are following their national tradition of excess, in the form of Beer Chugging and Pie Eating contests at the Sunburnt Cow and free beach juice shots at Bondi, along with all-you-can-eat shrimp and a buffet. Ozzie ozzie ozzie, oi oi oi...
Tuesday
TUESDAY HORST-ING
Vogue Photographer at Forbes Galleries
The perfectly named Horst P. Horst spent the thirties filling Vogue's pages with perfectly composed, vaguely sexual photographs. The latest show pulls together 50 of his best shots, complete with sullen ballerinas and golden-age movie stars.
Wednesday
WEDNESDAY HAM
Five Courses of Jamon Iberico at Suba
Seamus Mullen, executive chef at Suba and Boqueria, is taking the recently legalized regal Spanish ham for a spin, with a tasting menu that includes Smoked Pata Negra Hock, Ossabaw Island Hog Belly, and our personal favorite, Drunken Figs.
