The weekend is the new black.
This week, Perks is outfitting you for fall with a collection of shirts, shoes and accessories hand-selected by our editors from Seize sur Vingt’s line of updated classics, all up to half off. To be clear: half off the price. You’ll get all of whatever you order.
As far as mansions go, your insistence on butler service, Mercedes-Benz chauffeurs and a monogramming station will finally pay off today as Ralph Lauren unleashes the new service-heavy menswear-only incarnation of his famous Upper East Side Rhinelander Mansion.

The braised-pork-belly masters at Bobo are leaving the friendly confines of their West Village townhouse and heading upstate to a Catskill farm called Neversink for a barnyard dinner of prairie chickens and rainbow trout. Buy tickets now for next Saturday’s feast, and you’ll finally be able to start the rustic country autumn you’ve been planning all summer.
Ah, Jenga, the sport of kings. Add in a few Manhattans, and what is a contest of rigorous physical and mental dexterity becomes a transcendent battle between worthy adversaries. Or at least a fun drinking game at a bar, complete with gift cards and rounds of free beer. Your wooden tower awaits...
