Drinks/Food: >Bar With No Name Gets Name
Next Tuesday, the home of the Meatpacking's best back patio will re-launch as Revel. To celebrate, they're offering up two hours of open bar/free chow to rsvp'ers -- a dangerous move, since by the time you're done drinking, you'll forget the name they've worked two years to think up.
Services: Wearable Collections' Charity Clothing Pickup
Schedule a pickup for tomorrow or next Wednesday, and MCD volunteers will haul away your old, unfashionable clothes. There's no cost to you, other than the tears you'll shed watching your Sansabelts disappear into the sunset.
To schedule pickups, MSorel@wearablecollections.com
Food: Landmarc in the Time Warner Center
Despite planting itself on more expensive real estate, the new Landmarc's preserving everything great about the Tribeca original: a steaked-up bistro menu served 'til 2am, and a reasonably-priced wine list so free of markups, you'll wonder how they'll ever make rent. Hopefully, not by scooping change out of fountains, 'cause that's your thing.
Gear: Rodeo Wares
Grab grub/booze at Rodeo Bar, and you'll get discounts on shirts, boots, belts, buckles, denim, and hats at their new western shop. The shop's also staying open late, just in case you decide to trade in your tie for a bolo due to rowdy enthusiasm/nacho grease.
Food: Insieme
New from the Hearth guys, Insieme pits two distinct Italian menus against each other: classic (i.e., if they didn't make it in 1850, it's not on there) and innovative (i.e., people who made it in 1850 were locked up in asylums).
Culture: ESPN Sports Film Festival
The ESPNSFF's sporty/quasi-sporty premieres cover everything from football to poker to breakdancing. The highlight's May 5, when there'll be a street fest (w/ Shaun White snowboard demo), screenings of all 14 flicks, plus a re-cut of The Natural followed by a Jeremy Schaap interview with director Barry Levinson, hopefully conducted au natural.
For a pair of screening passes, be among the first 15 after 10am to email in the answer to this question: Which Natural actor also appeared in Kill Bill (and, more impressively, The Thief & The Stripper)?
