Food: Sandro's
This week, dining heavyweight Sandro Fioriti reincarnated his '80s Italian spot, featuring both hardy standbys and random fare like sea urchin ravioli and crisply fried Cornish game hen. The full menu's available 'til 2am, and at midnight bar guests receive complimentary pasta -- turning them all into dining heavyweights.
Gear: Gant Sale
Today-Fri at 20 W 55th St, 11th Fl, near 5th
Once purely prep, Gant now also designs upscale Park Ave styles and a worn-in, faded Rugger collection. This week it's all being unloaded at 80% off -- solid savings whether you're an Uptown fancy pants, or just like to grind those guys into the grass.
Food/Drinks: Casellula
Opening Friday, this café'll feature wine, cask ale, cured meats, and 35 different varieties of cheese: everything from Portuguese "Acorilhas" to "Toussaint" from Poughkeepsie -- a town whose name sounds like a condition caused by improperly curdled milk.
Services: ThirdPower Guarantees Your Fitness
Street Boxing pioneer/fitness maven Ed Rush is offering a money-back guarantee to personal training clients who fail to achieve their desired physique during his rigorous 6-12 week program. To set realistic goals, you must either bring in an old, in-shape photo of yourself, or magazine clips of bodies you wish to emulate (thank God you didn't toss that Atlantic with Al Gore on the cover).
Drinks/Food: Wednesday Sake Nights at Outlet Koca Lounge
Between the $1 sake cups and the deeply discounted shabu shabu, three people can get inebriated/full for around $10. Unfortunately, your alcoholism/fatness will make this estimate seem as optimistic as a highway construction bid.
Culture: Anything For Loaf Show
Catch AFL's big venue debut as they pay tribute to the greatest baked-ground-meat-inspired performer of all time: Wilson Phillips. No, wait, Meatloaf.
