O Holy Weekend
Your Perks: 1) Up to 25% off pocket-size battery packs—so you’ll never have dead-phone anxiety again. 2) Sleek, Swedish-style leather briefcases and bags from Oppermann. 3) A stunning seven-speed bike that folds up in 10 seconds flat. Yes, we counted.
Eating mushrooms... still a viable thing to do. But now you can drink them, because FT33 is pouring an earthy concoction that mixes tequila with cinnamon, lemon, chanterelle mushrooms and maitake mushrooms. Cocktail. Side dish. Same thing.
Lunch is important. It’s what gets you from breakfast to dinner and passes time during work. So you’ll be glad to know that Tanoshii and the Rustic are now feeding you during daylight hours. Grab some ramen at the former. Pork ribs at the latter. And beers at both.
Start digging through your closet now, because somewhere, there’s an ugly Christmas sweater. And you’re required to wear it tonight at Cosmo’s. A $25 donation gets you beer, wine and snacks, with the proceeds going to a good cause. No, not new sweaters.
You know The Nutcracker. That old Russian ballet full of sugar plum fairies that’s always playing somewhere this time of year. Well, this is that, except it’s the burlesque version and therefore it’s 93% unencumbered by clothes. Which, creatively speaking, seems like a smart decision on behalf of the director.
On Monday, things are happening at the Libertine. Things like Justin Holt (Driftwood) stopping by to make you ramen while a couple of blade-wielding barkeeps carve mini ice sculptures for chilling your Japanese whiskey. So... scotch on a swan, please.
