The List

Food: Mermaid Inn

568 Amsterdam Ave, between 87th and 88th; 212.799.7400

Aside from their lobster sandwich and wedge salad, the East Village seafood bistro's Uptown offspring sports a brand new menu. Snack on grilled oysters and sauteed skate wing in their wood-laden dining room, while marveling at antique harbor maps that depict a shoreline once as bustling with merchant ships as it is now with rollerbladers.

Service: Urban Sake Map

This G-map's color-coded icons indicate sake hotspots: blue for restaurants, brown, retailers, and green, bars. Pop-ups give the establishment's name/address, but wisely omit phone numbers, as no one could understand you over the din of karaoke.

Gear: Guerilla Store Launch Party

8pm tonight at Gallery Bar: 120 Orchard St, at Delancey; 212.529.2266

This 2-month temporary shop'll sling Brooklyn-based threads (Coup d'Etat, Sir Hayes, etc) to Manhattanites with crippling Bridge phobias. Tonight's launch party'll feature live music/DJs, plus free, necrotically-steez'd tees from Kiser NY -- a first-one's-free marketing plan that'd make a Bed-Stuy crack dealer blush.

Food: Momofuku Noodle Bar

171 1st Ave, between 10th and 11th; 212.777.7773

Opening today just steps away from its original location, the new Momofuku offers twice the space for grubbing on trademark dishes like Shrimp & Grits and Pork Neck Ramen w/ poached egg. Just as before, they proudly refuse to cater to vegetarians, and meet all green-ish demands with a hearty "momu fuk u".

Gear: Complete Technique

This New York-based, chunky line of mewelry's tastefully music-inspired, e.g., speaker pendants, subwoofer rings, and boombox necklaces. New for November: 80s Walkman pendants and, in a complete break from theme, AK-47s -- a timeless weapon that'll outlast the Walkman, and even the iPod, but not the Zune.
