Events: Historic NBA Draft (with scotch)
Tonight, sports fanatic/artiste No Mas hosts a mock draft of every NBA lottery pick from '85-'95, with the action centered around his original portraits of the 105 famous/infamous selections. Lucky attendees'll walk away with a portrait, and there's also free Dewars and Tiger Beer (the only way Robert "Tractor" Traylor could ever get drafted a second time).
Space is extremely limited. RSVP to BigCountry@nomas-nyc.com
Drinks: Wells Ales and Lagers
Focusing on independent brewers, this hops paradise features ten draughts and 75 hard-to-find bottles ranging from Pennsylvania's "Sly Fox Saison" to Oudenaarde, Belgium's "Liefmans Goudenband". You can also buy beer to-go, ideal for "independent drinkers".
Gear: Century 21 Sale
Up to 75% off everything from suits to socks -- the only hitch being C21's lack of dressing rooms, leaving you to guesstimate how many sock-knots'll fit into the crotch of the Versace suit you're eying.

Services: US Helicopter's Hamptons Service
This weekend, USH launches the first non-chartered Manhattan-Hamptons helicopter service. Cough up $799 (one-way), and in 35mins your Sikorsky S76'll have you at the East Hampton airport, giving you 2:25 to catch up on your back Robb Reports while you wait for your 495'ing friends to pick you up in their car.
Food/Drinks: Mercat's Downstairs Lounge
Mercat's walk-in-only downstairs offers wine, sangria, and a daily-changing menu of finger food, which you're expected to eat without silverware, much like a meerkat. (This makes no sense, but meerkats are always funny, even when Thrillist is not.)
