No foolin', it's the weekend.
Everything's 10% off for three hours tonight, along with free wine and DJ Mike. Jackets from Endovanera, Nicholas K and Converse by John Varvatos. Spring fling, baby.
Jimmy's No. 43, your favorite East Village rathskeller, pushes aside the Eastern Euro vibe for a night to pair premium sakes with small plates. Jimmy likes sake.
The world's most titillating wines, renowned aphrodisiacs like oysters and chocolate-covered strawberries, suggestive poetry by Petula Caesar and an adult-toy sale. The only thing that will make this night sexier is when you show up.
