Bow to the great and powerful Weekend.
Your Perks: 1) Button-ups in so many summer colors and styles, it’ll make your head spin. In a good way. 2) Ultra-insulated flasks, koozies, wedge-shaped ice molds... Basically a bunch of things to keep your beverages chilled. Very important. 3) A contraption that turns alcohol into gas. Seeing is believing.
Herewith, a helpful guide for the Long Room’s new food component:
Sidecar: That component’s name.
Biscuit Man: A real live person preparing breakfast sandwiches and lunchtime naan rolls
there in the AM.
Beard & Belly: The duo placing poutine sandwiches near your face from 5 o’clock to
midnight.
Ideal Guest: [Picture of you.]
Let’s play the New Lunch Dating Game.
Behind Door #1: For the first time, you can enjoy lobster rolls and basil-ginger lemonade
on Epic’s glorious rooftop patio.
Behind Door #2: It’s pastrami sandwiches and steak frites from the chophouse known as
Boeufhaus.
Behind Door #3: There’s no Door #3.
The Virgin Hotel just got better again. Weird. Turns out, they just opened a cushy spa with five private treatment rooms, a Turkish hammam, gentlemen’s facials and special boxed-lunch options from Miss Ricky’s. Stay tuned next week for The Virgin Hotel Adds an Underwater Exotic Animal Petting Zoo.
Bloomingdale Trail Log, 1pm: Nice day, but growing weary. Could use supplies. BTL, 2pm: Stepped off the trail to find Stio, a new outdoor gear store with water-shedding boardshorts, moisture-wicking polos and Hawaiian sandals, known only to exist in Wyoming. Must be a mirage. BTL, 2:15pm: Nope, not a mirage.
On your list of things you should probably start preparing for: 1) Consuming a bunch of delicious wood-fired things at this weekend’s grilling pop-up from forthcoming steakhouse Maple & Ash. 2) Flag Day. We listed those in order of importance. Hope that helped.
