THRILLIST New York
The List
Hump This
Eat: Wildwood
225 Park Ave, at 18th; 212.533.2500
Cheffed by a former Hill Country deputy pitmaster, Wood's a cafeteria-style, blackened steel and wood beam'd resto pouring 50 beers and serving four delectable types of ribs, plus pork brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken, and kielbasa. Dangerously, Wood's located near Hill Country, Blue Smoke, and Rub, making it the southernmost vertex of NY's Bermuda-like meat...parallelogram?

Thru Friday at 75 Ninth Ave, at 15th, 3rd Fl, Suite E; 212.421.7720
Designer Nicole Fahri's pop-up shop's offering up to 80% off home furnishings, from armchairs, to bureaus, to pillows/throws/rugs made from silk, cashmere, and goatskin -- because the finest materials only come from animals that eat cans.

 Eat: Benoit
60 West 55th St, near 6th; 646.943.7373
A two-story bistro decked out in red-velvet banquettes and vintage Parisian posters, Alain Ducasse's latest is serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner (pike quenelles w/ Nantua sauce, steak au poivre w/ pommes soufflés), plus 200 white and red varietials, 65% from France and 35% from the U.S. (it would've been 0% U.S., were it not for the feckless Maginot Wine).

 Service: Subway Barber
His life circumscribed by two bare necessities (subways, haircuts), one man explores the murky world of NY's subterranean barbers. The GMap'd blog includes venue descriptions, before/after coife photos, plus constructive criticism from his loving wife, e.g., "it’s even, it just has no style" and "it’s like she just gave up on the back and said, whoop, this is your new hair line."

 Gear: Designer Duds 65% Off
Thru Sunday
65% off premium hoodies/sweaters/button downs from Nicholas K, tees and crew necks from Rittenhouse, and one pair of jeans from Loomstate (suggesting the state of the loom may be "off").
