In case of weekend, break glass.
Your Perks: 1) 25% off some handsome, limited-edition maps of star constellations. 2) One-of-a-kind wristwatches made from refashioned antique pocket watches. 3) A three-course dinner date of Southern deliciousness and burlesque at Duane Park. Every good date needs tassels.
One-stop shops: so convenient. Like when you need a sharp-looking Norwegian blanket, a bike, a cup of Icelandic joe and some desk candy in the form of a wooden bow tie, there should be a place for all that. And now there is. It’s called Búdin. It’s Scandinavian. Like Ikea but way nicer.
What you have here is a Brooklyn pop-up full of artisanal, locally made edibles. There’s Indian relish. There’s peach-sriracha jams. There’s cocktail mixers. We’re not saying it sounds like a Portlandia sketch, but we’re not not saying that, either.

Something’s not done with you yet. It rhymes with schminter. And it necessitates further collection of Fair Isle sweaters and tweed jackets from Gant. Hence, the Gant sample sale. Go—fight the good fight.
If you need to be charmed: Cobble Hill’s Van Horn Sandwich Shop has dropped the
“Sandwich Shop” part and added trout plates, sunchoke fritters and scotch-rum cocktails to the
lineup.
If you’ve never had tandoori rabbit: The old Beagle space is now Flinders Lane, an Aussie
spot for... tandoori rabbit.
