Laissez les bons temps weekend.
Your Perks: 1) Up to 69% off Maceoo polos, blazers and button-downs. The French seem to be fond of them. 2) A revitalizing juice cleanse, because sometimes you’ve got to balance the bad with the good. 3) The workout clothes they’d use to exercise in space. Houston, we have a... high-performance shirt.
The Time: 3 to 6pm, Monday through Friday.
The Place: King + Duke.
The Request: A cocktail. Maybe some wine.
The Reception: That cocktail or wine you just ordered happens to be accompanied by gratis
hush puppies with sweet chili jam.
The Takeaway: Every day should be hush puppy day.

Ah, Mardi Gras. It’s French for “Fat Tuesday.” But you knew that. And you’re about to know that Highland Cigar is celebrating it with passed appetizers, Mardi Gras–inspired drinks and a bunch of cigars. See, now you know.
