Gear: Stuart & Wright Sale
Now 'til the stock's sold out
85 Lafayette Ave, between S Portland and S Elliot; 718.797.0011
Despite our warming globe, you'll eventually need toastier clothes, and this Brooklyn stalwart's knocking 25-40% off its entire winter collection: pants, shirts, jackets, scarves, etc, from indie designers like A.P.C., Engineered Garments, and Earnest Sewn. If you're convinced winter's dead forever, then enjoy February, and your new nickname, Nipples.

Drinking: Clothes for Cocktails Benefit
8-11pm Thu at Marquee: 289 10th Ave, between 26th and 27th
RSVP to Events@safehorizon.org
Trade in your "gently worn" winter gear for booze at this charity event benefiting needy kids. Just one article of warm clothing gets you three hours of open bar -- a bagful enters you into a raffle for your very own orphan.

Services: Free Mixed Martial Arts Class
1-2:30pm Sat at the Renzo Gracie Academy
224 W 30th St, between 7th and 8th; to RSVP, 212.356.4012
To celebrate National Self-Defense Month (apparently already underway), International Fight League star Renzo Gracie will be teaching a free 90-minute mixed martial arts class at his gym. If you're too feeble for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, January's also "National Hot Tea Month" -- maybe you can sip a cup with the one non-deadly Gracie, Mildred.

Food: Fireside
In the Omni Berkshire: 19 E 52nd, at Madison; 212.754.5011
Officially opening tomorrow, Fireside's named for its massive glass-enclosed fireplace -- which for permit reasons currently burns only candles. While the décor's municipally handicapped, the menu's unconstrained, with notables like BBQ Pork Osso Bucco w/ creamy cheese grits, and the staggering Crepe Royale: Nantucket Bay scallops, sweet potato-chorizo hash, caviar, lobster hollandaise, and quail egg. After eating this, light a candle for your waistline. Check out the menu
