Never count your weekends before they hatch.
Perks on summer handsomeness: take 30% off SeaVees’ entire collection of beach-ready shoes, and 30% off tailored swimsuits from New York–based haberdashery Onia. Plus, Daniel Boulud’s meat guys are giving you 28% off hand-carved steaks, burgers and chops. Your next cookout: the stuff of legend.
Turns out, it’s National Burger Month. And, why yes, that’s cause for celebration. So here to help: Del Frisco’s Grille. They’re featuring a special burger topped with brisket, pepper jack and candied jalapeño through the rest of May. You’ve got 22 days. Make the most of it.
The Great Gatsby comes out this Friday. You might’ve heard something about that. But also, the People’s Last Stand is throwing a corresponding party. So that’s nice. See the premiere at the Angelika, then hop next door for champagne cocktails, gin rickeys, the Gatsby soundtrack and probably (hopefully) some flapper dresses.
If you make your way downtown this weekend, you may find yourself in the middle of the HomeGrown Fest. Which basically means being surrounded by local bands (Divine Fits, the Burning Hotels), tons of Shiner and food trucks. Lots and lots of food trucks. Don’t worry, they’re parked.
Spoon has treated you well over these last few months. The seafood feasts: pretty magnificent. But all of them: dinner only. That changes Sunday when Spoon launches brunch. Then, moving forward: lunch, with things like king crab salads and swordfish clubs. To be clear, that’s a sandwich. Not a weapon.
Surely you’ve bought an incredible Mother’s Day gift by now. But for purely hypothetical reasons, let’s say you haven’t. Well, there’s always pho. Specifically, the one they’re serving at Pho is for Lovers. Because this Sunday, Mom eats free. Whether or not you tell her is up to you.
