The weekend loves the French. Hates mimes.
New York: the city that never sleeps. So we’re booking you a weekend at the decadent sleep-optional Gramercy Park Hotel and throwing in $200 for room service—yes, they serve suckling pig.

In the past, when you’ve found yourself in Southie and hungry for porchetta sandwiches, you suffered.

Now that this past week has sweated about 15 pounds of water weight off you, know that you can revamp your summer gear by heading to Louis for a massive sale, landing you 50% off all spring and summer items. If you haven’t overhauled your pre–Labor Day whites, now is the time.
Tuna salads and healthy fruit.

All those long nights on the town this summer have been prepping you for Saturday’s drinking odyssey, where you’ll be traversing through 26 bars over 12.5 hours. You’ll start at the House of Blues and hit every place from Bleacher Bar to Common Ground along the way. Yes, you’ll get a Viking helmet for attending.
And once you shake your head clear of the beer-y cobwebs, you’ll be looking for a little doughy sustenance. Come Tuesday, the Urban Grape will be pairing four different pies from Naked Pizza with everything from sake to bubbly to gluten-free beer and wine. It’s the ideal day to match sake with pizza, in our opinion.
