Things to do for December 03, 2009
The Weekender
Prohibition Ice Skating and a Party in the Weight Room
The weekend is tryptophan-free.
Thursday
CLICK
Fall/Winter Sale at South Willard
Starting today, South Willard is helping to outfit your holiday-party circuit with Dries Van Noten, Patrik Ervell and Band of Outsiders at 30 percent off. It's the opposite of reindeer sweaters.
SACRILEGE
The Gorbals Does Lunch
Ilan Hall's rogue take on Jewish cuisine—as slapped around by the Scots and other unusual suspects—has boldly stepped into lunching hours. So you can now proudly ingest those infamous Bacon-Wrapped Matzoh Balls in the bright light of day.
Friday
PAPERS IN ORDER
They Wrap Gifts, You Drink
Truly, this is a remarkable innovation—bring your bags of holiday loot to the Peninsula, and after you enjoy a liquid lunch at the Roof Garden, walk away with all your gifts elegantly wrapped by Soolip. They'll take care of business in the lobby, while you take care of business in your glass.
Saturday
BLADES OF GLORY
Repeal Day at the Edison
To celebrate the end of Prohibition in style with the Edison, you'll need...ice skates. It all starts at the Pershing Square rink; then comes the Christmas batch of bourbon back at the bar. Just like the good old days, sort of.
Wednesday
YOU +1
Party in the Weight Room
To properly absorb the renovations at the gargantuan Los Angeles Athletic Club, we've arranged for you to drop by their grand unveiling bash—with bountiful food and drink among the weights and squash courts. Be among the first 250 to arrive, and you'll get to come back another time for a free night's stay upstairs.
