It’s deep, and I don’t think it’s weekend.
Your Perks: 1) Clothes designed by MIT grads and made with the same fabric used by NASA. 2) A couple of battery enhancements for your phone so it’ll live forever. 3) Some trippy surrealist art from a Russian designer. Hang it somewhere nice/strange.
It can be tough to get motivated at 3:30pm. Consider this your motivation: $1 oysters at Pop’s SeaBar, plus all beers for $3 and all cocktails, like their take on an Orange Crush, for $5. And on weekends, they’ll repeat it all starting at midnight. It can be tough to get motivated then, too.
It’s time to take credit for Mike Isabella’s pizza recipes. All month, you can preorder a pizza kit from Graffiato that’ll have you stretching a round of dough and topping it with stuff like ricotta, taleggio, prosciutto and black-pepper honey. Toss the dough in the air. Make a show of it.
Going to be a big weekend. Baseball playoffs. Football. And Shake Shack burgers topped with bacon-cheddar bratwurst and beer-marinated shallots. In fact, they’re rolling out plenty of brat options, along with apple-strudel shakes and German chocolate concretes. And beer.
Even if you didn’t get a ticket to Game 1, you’re still not about to spend the day at work. So head to the Fairgrounds across the street, where they’re simulcasting the game on a 16-by-16-foot screen. You’ll also find a hot dog cart, two food trucks and $5 drinks from the third through seventh innings.
The Bloody Mary is turning 80. Here’s two ways to celebrate:
1. Go to the St. Regis’s Bloody Mary brunch, where a Bloody cart will turn out five versions.
2. Go to Del Campo’s new unlimited brunch, which’ll have a bottomless Bloody throwdown among four
bartenders.
Bonus way: go to both.
