Open up and say weekend.
Amalia's sexier downstairs lounge open its D'ors tonight with an all-night private party. The vibe is dilapidated Prague mansion in a former carriage house. (Yeah, that old motif...)
Stop by E.U. in the East Village after breakfast but before lunch this weekend and enjoy free Prosecco with your quiche. We don't normally take handouts, but we'll make an exception for sparkling wine at noon.
Central Kitchen opens Monday alongside its sibling Tasca. Whereas Tasca serves tapas, the new companion brasserie serves everything but—e.g., suckling pig with 5-year-aged provolone and pork jus and a killer raw bar. Other niceties: 120 seats and a 10% discount through April 8. Good luck, Tasca.
Finally, the UBBT presented by Ale Street News returns to NYC. Hundreds of Belgian beers. A sophisticated/lager-loving crowd. It's the most fun you can have without actually going to Ale Street.
Sopranos alums Drea de Matteo, David Proval, Vincent Pastore, Annabella Sciorra and Steve Buscemi tell moderator Bryant Gumbel how it feels to live and die on TV's North Jersey opera. Exec producer David Chase discusses the art of whacking (without divulging who gets bumped in the final season).
