The weekend is Friday’s extended sax solo.
Football season’s here. Good thing Perks is getting you 30% off the world’s best beef jerky. Also, meet your new liquor cabinet: an exclusive vintage bar cart. Finally, we got you VIP tickets to the Breeders’ Cup... putting you just by the finish line. Life is good with Perks...
Tonight is Fashion’s Night Out, a citywide shopping extravaganza. But, well, you don’t really need all that jazz. You just want a good pair of Levi’s, a sturdy pair of vintage Red Wing boots, food from Osteria Via Stato and gratis booze from Koval Distillery. You know, the basics.
Regarding those Springsteen tickets you forgot to buy, you now have a choice: go the scalper route or go the rooftop route. Remember, the rooftop has unlimited beer and wine, plus a menu with everything from hot dogs to steak. Which so few scalpers offer these days.
There’s been a lot of talk about Obama this week. Mainly, of course, concerning the declassification of his honey-ale recipe. So swing by this little homebrew shop, take a brewing class and pick up all the supplies you need to make the POTUS’s brew. Basically, a stimulus package for beer.
A late-summer riverside picnic sounds like a nice way to loll through a warm weekend afternoon. Hot dogs. Hamburgers. Corn. Lobster rolls. But it would be better with half-price beer and pitchers of rum punch. In fact, your lobster wouldn’t have it any other way.
Ferrari. Pasta. Carla Bruni. Such are the wonders of Italy. And while Bruni won’t be attending this food-and-wine-and-fast-cars party for Italian Village’s 85th anniversary, you’ll still find 60 of the luxury automotives in attendance. Ferrari: always great at overcompensation.
