THURSDAY PERK
1 New Perk
Whether it's tennis, Broadway or MSG, we've got a guy (okay, a website) who can get you the primo, sold-out, line-free tickets you know you deserve.
Things to do for August 28, 2008
The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
Finally, some recognition for all that labor...
Thursday
Thursday
THURSDAY PARTY LINE
The New Lounge at Socialista
Socialista's downstairs has been closed for a while—planning for the revolution, we assumed—but it's gotten a second life as a lounge, opening quietly today for some not-so-quiet weekly parties.
Friday
FRIDAY PARKING
US Open at Madison Square Park
If you can't make it out to Flushing, you can always catch a few matches on the live feed in the park, with bleachers and a big screen to convince you you're there, and concession stands from Hill Country and Shake Shack to remind you why you aren't.
WEEKEND SALE-ING
Freemans Sporting Club Short Sale
This short and sweet sale is giving 25 percent off all short-sleeve button-downs, henleys, polos and,
naturally, shorts. Here's hoping global warming gives you a few more chances to wear them.
411: Sept 2-16,
8 Rivington St (between Bowery and Christie), 212-673-3209
Barneys New
York
This Barneys sale has been going on for weeks, but this weekend is when the especially bargain-minded folks
head over. By Saturday afternoon, markdowns should top 70 percent, and the Chelsea warehouse will be ripe
for plunder.
Monday
MONDAY BOW TIES
Shipley & Halmos Things
The ex-Trovata prepsters think outside of the shirts/pants box with their new line of accessories, including an embossed wallet, an oxblood leather briefcase and a few restrained bow ties that may have you reconsidering your dedication to the Windsor.
