This is the first day of the rest of your weekend.
Your Perks: 1) A reserved seat to watch John Lithgow and Annette Bening perform Shakespeare in the Park. 2) Three courses of incredibly rare scotches (think 1950 Macallan) paired with Cantonese delicacies at Hakkasan. 3) Exclusive tickets to Isola’s rosé-fueled brunch celebrating the summer solstice. Start the longest day of the year right.
Things you can get at Shinola in Tribeca:
—A stunning bicycle
—A stunning watch
—A stunning leather baseball
—A stunning duffel bag
—A stunning haircut
Wait, no—yes, you can get that, too. The ear-lowering experts of Fellow Barber are posting up there for 10
days. Grow hair accordingly.
Comedy and zydeco. They’re like peas and carrots since... just now. The New Orleans feast makers at Bo’s are now doing comedy with Colbert and Conan vets, followed immediately by live zydeco on Thursdays. Zydeco is the official music of mass crawfish consumption.
Amali’s got a new brunch. It’s got linguine carbonara, semolina waffles and other light fare, and that’s great. But... Bloody Mary bar. Theirs makes just about any permutation you can imagine (and probably some you can’t) possible. Though we know you. “Aquavit, basil syrup, bacon, pepperoncini, sumac salt.” That’s you, right?
If you were to run for office, it’d be on a strict “one whole lobster on a rooftop for everyone” platform. But now, we’re here to tell you you’d be plagiarizing your platform from Hotel Chantelle, who’s doing that every Sunday this summer. Politics, man.
If you’re in Midtown: Grab your nearest starlet (figuratively), don something dashing and
have a few of the particularly stiff cocktails at Beautique’s new lounge.
If you possess taste buds: A Bushwick shack called the Diggs is now doing lobster-topped
and citrus-pulled-pork-topped fries until 1am. Gotta love 1am.
