The weekend comes together in the spirit of compromise.
We’re bringing you the game-changing, sleep-optimizing device (and iPhone/iPad/iPod app) known as Lark Pro, which includes your own automated sleep coach. (House calls may cost extra.) Plus, we’re booking you a five-star evening in Manhattan’s only outdoor hotel room. Go ahead, bring a guest.
Your bar giveth; your bar taketh away. In this case, they’ve taken away the kitchen for four weeks (renovations), but they’ve given a pop-up slider bar, serving flights of BBQ sandwiches along with a new array of beer cocktails. The bar closing down would be unforgivable.
It happens a lot: you’re walking down a downtown sidewalk thinking, “There should be a gelato cart... right... here.” Someone was listening, as the Italian eatery Casa Nonna is now serving up flavors like Meyer Lemon, Stracciatella and Ricotta and Fig every day. You’ll have to keep wishing for a beer cart.
Good news: the new Mexican taqueria is serving up unlimited brunch fare like tamales with eggs and Mexican chocolate waffles. Better news: they’re sweetening the deal with bottomless tequila cocktails. It’s like they don’t want you to get anything done this weekend.
Time once again to shine your boots and polish your belt buckle, because the Wyoming State Society is taking over Eastern Market. Think beer, a mechanical bull and whiskey. Probably in that exact order.
Soon, you’ll be heading to sports bars for 10-hour NFL marathons. Until then, you can just catch Bogey and Bergman. The second-floor Penn Quarter hideaway is screening classic films every Monday on its 40-plus screens, and they’re getting started with Casablanca. They may even play it again.
