The weekend is breaking out the Cosby sweater.
For your neck: $60 gets you $100 worth of ties, scarves and pocket squares from NYC-based handsomeness experts The Hill-side. For your wrist: 29% off fully functional, leather-bound lighter cufflinks. For your... everything else: access to a lifetime of private jetting... for just 300 bucks.
Muji. Japanese design shop. Locations in Tokyo and NYC. Good place to pick up furniture, minimalist knickknacks, special gloves designed for touchscreen phones and... cardboard elephants. Surely someone on your list this year needs a cardboard elephant.
You’ve officially got two days to score 65% off on tents, backpacks and iconic S.H. sleeping bags at Alite. Oh, and if you win one of their hourly cornhole tournaments, you’ll get the priceless thrill of victory. Also: a folding monarch chair, on the house. But more importantly: victory.
Meet this year’s Dogpatch Warehouse Sale. They’re shutting down an entire block so you can pick up gift-y things from the likes of Triple Aught Design, Cedar Cycling and Taylor Stitch. Refuel with food and beverage from Sutton Cellars, Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous and Serpentine. You love food and beverage.
The Bay Brewed: probably the best indie-rock beer festival in the city. It’s also the only one. Anyway, all the elements are there: unlimited beer from all the brewers in the city’s brewers’ guild, plus performances from six bands (including Brooklyners Bear in Heaven). But we had you at unlimited beer.
In New York, there’s a place called the Meatball Shop. One guess what they sell. Well, the guy behind it is an SPQR alum, and he’s in town for a night—and bringing his meatballs with him. There’s beef and spicy pork, served in sauce and/or a hero. (Meaning a sandwich, and not, like, Captain Sully.)
