Only you can prevent weekend fires.
Meet the Volta Sound Block—a wooden speaker/iPhone dock with a buffalo horn (pretty amazing). It’s 20% off. Your other Perks: futuristically good-looking NOVO watches and beautiful art prints made from sound waves. Voicemail art: now possible.
Option #1: jumping around to places like Lure, Murphy’s and King + Duke in one night. Option #2: going to this year’s Party in the Kitchen. Chefs will cook for you. Bartenders will make drinks for you. DJs will have stupid names for you. To clarify: option #1 is bad.
The timing is impeccable. Right when it starts feeling like fall, Miller Brothers has a Peter Millar fall trunk show with things you need. Quilted vests. Italian wingtips. Bunch of stuff like that. Also, they’re taking 20% off advance spring orders. But that feels pretty ambitious.
Miso Izakaya just started making ramen burgers. They’re... burgers with ramen noodles for buns. And the procuring process goes thusly: 1) Preorder yours by 9:30pm (they only make 20 per night). 2) Sit at the bar (they’re only available there). 3) Some type of getting-really-excited scenario sounds about right.
On July 4, there was a fire in Rathbun’s kitchen. It wasn’t ideal. But there’s a silver lining: it’s reopening tomorrow with a new kitchen and a revamped menu (beef carpaccio, charred octopus...). Which is all very ideal.
This weekend, you’re pretending it’s Mardi Gras. Because you like Mardi Gras. But also because there’ll be a New Orleans jazz band, po’boys from Just Loaf’n and relevant decorations (beads, semi-creepy purple-and-green masks...) all set up at the Masquerade. Guess you won’t have to pretend after all.
