Tower, this is weekend requesting a flyby.
Your Perks: 1) August 23: an Italian-style block party at Mondrian SoHo. Yes, there’ll be gelato. 2) Some of the hardest-to-find Rolexes in the world. 3) Perfect-fitting raw denim jeans with a revolutionary home try-on service. Now that’s convenience.

The best way to enjoy a caviar snow cone: on a Saturday, on a roof in Midtown, at the Crow’s Nest. It’s also the only way, but hey, no one’s complaining.
West Village date spot extraordinaire Blenheim is getting into the brunch game. They’re doing it with potato pancakes with cheddar cheese and chanterelle mushrooms, plus Red Snappers (essentially a gin Bloody Mary). Actually, this is way too serious to be called a game.

Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue: arguably the greatest jazz album of all time. Miles Davis: inarguably not alive. Problem, meet solution: a legit jazz trio is playing Kind of Blue in its entirety at Analogue. Your job: kicking back and drinking gin cocktails. We believe in you.
