Walk softly and carry a big weekend.
A few essentials now that the leaves are turning: a seriously handsome, fully canvassed tweed jacket, hand-sewn by Brooklyn’s Rifle Quality, for 35% off. A stock of excellent (and rare) wines from around the world. And some sharp wool ties and pocket squares from Pierrepont Hicks—all 40% off.
La Gloutonnerie. You haven’t tried their lunch yet. Of course, there’s a good reason. It just started existing. Consider swinging by tomorrow for some duck confit, New York strip and dill-scented shrimp with fennel crisps. You can always do a salad Monday.
Not all yacht shows are created equal. Some throw in live jazz. Cocktail bars. Oh, and a couple McLarens and M55s for good measure. That’s basically what you’re getting at the Epic Hotel this weekend. Good luck figuring out how to get a catamaran up your condo stairs later.
Here’s a good reason to head out to the Grove: beer. Check that: 200 types of beer. Yes, there’s a massive beer party going down this Saturday at Peacock Park. You’ll find local bands doing the live-music thing, cooking exhibitions, brewing seminars and, of course, sample pours. Many, many sample pours.
Drop by Jimmy’z this Sunday and you’ll find, well, mofongo. But also, a heated, bracket-style domino tournament. To the winners: cash, new domino tables and cases of beer. Beer > participation ribbon.
Ah, fall. Sunny, comfortable, 85-degree fall. You’re probably freezing. Well, this might help. We’ve got a new ramen joint. The name: Machiya. The specialty: warm bowls of noodles topped with things like pork belly and short rib. Slurp. It’s polite.
