Nothing tastes as good as the weekend feels.
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.
It’s Friday. So it goes without saying that a DJ will be in your very near future. It goes with saying that a DJ will be rolling alongside you during a 6.5-mile group bike ride that starts at 10pm and ends when you request Queen’s “Bicycle Race.” It should, at least.
We have some bad, good and incredible news. The bad: the Frida & Diego exhibit is almost over. The good: they’re ending it with an overnight party at the High. The incredible: it’ll have body-painted Fridas, margarita popsicles from King of Pops and lucha libre wrestling. Incredible wins again.
Tomorrow in the Old Fourth Ward, you’ll find live music everywhere. We mean... everywhere. Twenty-four businesses have coordinated to host performances, so expect anything from live jazz at a welding company to an indie quintet at Ammazza to a 10-piece horn band at a dentist’s office. Which seems slightly dangerous.
Last year, Hogs and Hops debuted. You went. You saw. You vowed to return again. And tomorrow, you fulfill that vow by heading to SweetWater, procuring some grilled meat from the likes of Bone Lick and Fox Bros. and having some beer ice cream. Pairs great with non-frozen beer, too.
Sunday is Mother’s Day. Try to remember that. Try to remember flowers and chocolate, too. And... actually, just remember to make brunch reservations at Olmsted. They’ll have gratis long-stem roses, chocolate-covered strawberries and mini photography sessions for your mom. Aw, they should have.
