Thrillist New York
Emailed in a LIST on: Wednesday September 19, 2007The List
Drinks: The Randolph
Opening tomorrow in Chinatown, this small, low-lit bar serves Caribbean cocktailery (Dark and Stormies, pitchers of Pimm's Cup, etc) and West Indies beers like Carib and Kalik, which together sound like an exotic-yet-insufferable children's program. Later in the evening, the place becomes a speakeasy, with a 2nd bar tucked away in an undisclosed location (hint: rhymes with "Mrecret Mrasement").
Services: YellowCab Farestimator
Click your departure/destination points, and this G-map'll produce distance and fare approximations so fast, you won't have a moment to even consider the subway and its horrible mystery: "Who has Jerry Orbach's eyes?"
Predict your cab fare here.
Gear: Property Sale
Up to 70% off cabinets, sofas, chairs, and other ultra-modern pieces that fall squarely into the "sophisticated pop" category. Sadly, there is no discount on the Debbie Gibson Tea Davenport.
Outfit your pad at PropertyFurniture.com.
Food: Il Buco Pig Roast
Tomorrow, this Autumnal Equinox-celebrating outdoor bash'll fatten you up with a $20 plate loaded with a porchetta panini, apple ricotta fritters, farmer's market panzanella, and slow-roasted Ossabaw pig (a rare breed found only on Ossabaw Island, Georgia and descended from prized Iberian stock -- so basically, you've got a less prestigious lineage than your lunch).
Culture: The Living Room Candidate
Created by NYC's Museum of the Moving Image, this publicly-minded time-killer hosts every presidential campaign spot ever, from Adlai Stevenson's "I Love the Gov" to an optimistic President Bush ad curiously entitled "Pessimism". In conjunction, the Times Center's hosting a Chris Matthews-led panel discussion next Monday night -- slamming up against an even more noble citizenly duty, Titans vs Saints.
