The weekend fills out its bracket in permanent quill.
It’s finally here—the competition, the sweat, the... swords. Yes, Perks is getting you 42% off a gladiator boot camp. Plus: the VIP treatment at the Architectural Digest cocktail party and a spectacular new custom suit, courtesy of a Ralph Lauren alum. (Gratis shirt included, of course.)
Eggs. Bacon. A trough of Bloody Mary. Normally, you’re pretty standard with your brunch demands. But not this weekend. Not when the Beagle is debuting a midmorning menu featuring things like a corned-tongue and egg sandwich, foie gras butter pancakes and The Balanced Breakfast (the cocktail version). Bourbon, apparently a food group now.
So what if your body, heart, mind, soul and conscience are telling you no. This year, you’re going out for St. Patrick’s Day. The spot: PH-D. The time: right around sunset. The ridiculous party favors: mostly inflatable. Think green beach balls, pots o’ gold and blow-up jumbo leprechauns. Think them and then do them.
Nitehawk Cinema (that movie theater/restaurant/full-service bar in Williamsburg) is dusting off a big old block of Saturday morning cartoons this weekend. To accompany your heavy dose of Hanna-Barbera: a complimentary all-you-can-eat cereal bar and a robust selection of boozy milk infusions. Cocoa Puffs, Baileys and some 2%: a revelation.
If you’re in the market for something craft brewed/double breasted next week, consider Park Avenue Tavern. They’ll be flying in Thailand’s best suit man to conduct a bunch of fittings over a bunch of beers. Also, there’ll be cigar rolling, shoe shining and hors d’oeuvres. Otherwise known as a “gentleman’s triple play.”
There’s a storm coming. A macaron storm (trust us, these exist). It’s happening this summer, when famed French pastry shop Macaron Parlour opens a giant outdoor garden spot in the East Village. But for now: a preview pop-up. You’ll want to stop by to try their candied-bacon-filled macaron. Because, you know, bacon.
