Hold me closer, tiny weekend.
We’re outfitting you for your summer in a pair of deck-friendly, limited-edition boat shoes designed by our friends at Rancourt & Co. Also, high-quality swimsuits, designed in Italy. And for your iPhone: a sturdy case that doubles as a beer bottle opener. Summer starts here...
So, the Living Room (the one at the W Midtown) is transforming into an art gallery tonight. And you’ll care because they’ve got a bar full of martinis set up for the viewing and a live graffiti demonstration. No word if Banksy has RSVP’d yet.
Imagine Cannes. Okay, now imagine Cannes as a canned food drive in an Old Fourth park. Perfect. That’s your plan for tomorrow night. Show up with a donation, score some concessions (cold beer and Creole food) and secure a prime seat for one of the outdoor movie screenings. We promise, no subtitles.
Fact: there aren’t enough smoked-pig-ear sandwich spots in this town. Fix: the arrival of the Big Apple Inn—a legendary Mississippi takeout joint that’s famous for just that. Also, sausages, bologna, hot dogs, tamales, hamburgers, ice cream and side salads. Just kidding, there are no side salads.
Ray’s on the River. Your go-to for big client lunches. Every day except this Saturday. Then, it’ll be your go-to for big electric-violin concerts. Bring a date, grab two seats down by the Chattahoochee and prepare for the greatest violin concert of your life. Also, the only violin concert of your life.
Great places to see a concert: Red Rocks. The Garden. A local cemetery. Yes, there’s actually a 100-act music festival taking place amid the Oakland Cemetery mausoleums this weekend. There’ll be food trucks. There’ll be beer. There’ll be the most realistic “Thriller” performance of all time.
