Is this the GREATEST newsletter of all time?
Yeah! If you're a cheap bastard!
It’s still cold, but a new month starting on Saturday marks…evidence of the passage of time, at least. As for me, I’m passing time working on art projects, doing escapist amounts of reading, and pinching pennies. As for you…
Here’s What’s Up in New York February 24-March 2:
STEAL OF THE WEEK
I just walked past the Boucherie at Union Square and noticed the chalk message on their A-frame sign saying most of their wines are 50% off through Feb 28 (Friday). That sounds like a steal to me!
TIMELY IDEAS
Mon., Feb. 24 – WINE – Today’s the final day of Nudibranch’s no-corkage Monday (for any wines not on their wine list). They have what sounds like a great deal on a prix-fixe dinner for $65 pp, which I’ll be trying out on Friday and can report officially to anyone curious.
Tuesday, Feb. 25 – DANCE – Dances and Dreams: A Celebration of Movement and Imagination at the Austrian Cultural Forum
Thu., Feb. 27 – ART – Experimental Drawing (figure drawing) c/o SVA at Atelier Jolie
Thu., Feb. 27 – SUSTAINABILITY – Sip ‘n Sort with Fabscrap
Fri., Feb. 28 – SOCIAL – Weekly Board Game Meetup at Bryant Park
Sat., March 1 – ART OPENING – John Zorn Live Concert Series: New Masada Quartet
Sun., March 2 – THE OSCARS – Don’t forget to watch! :)
THIS WEEK’S HOT DATE
Some dates are hot AND inflation-proof. Something has got to be! It’s easy to learn what’s new, what’s hot, what’s popular these days. But how about being drunk and full for less than 50 bucks a person? HOW DOES THAT SOUND? It doesn’t have to be a fantasy…
This Wednesday – but really, any Wednesday – you’re gonna go straight to:
For their new Wine Wednesday deal. Get half off a bottle of wine when you order a charcuterie plate. Most bottles on the menu are $45, so…this deal is insane. Their pizzas are good too, and there’s a new Bacon & Fig Jam one that would round out this cheap date most perfectly.
If a bottle of wine doesn’t do you in, and you wanna continue your discos at another spot afterward, walk to:
Where you can get a free manicure (bring cash for tip! Literally everywhere you go, all the time…) when you spend $10 or more at the bar. Classic cocktails are a mere 12 bucks, so this is quite a steal, too!
Now that you’re sloshed, why not go next door to:
For pancakes in unflattering fluorescent lighting :)
PLEASE NOTE: Both Motel No Tell and Beauty Bar are very dear to me. Do not go misbehaving, being bad-weird, or boring anyone to tears! THANKS!
