Gear: Watch Your Back Tees
Blues/Funk pioneer and domestic violence proponent Ike Turner met his maker last week, so keep his memory alive with this Brooklyn design collective's t-shirt, "Ike Says Relax". No, seriously, woman. Relax.
Food: Felice Wine Bar
Bedecked in vino bottles and a chandelier made from glass jugs, Felice pairs traditional Italian (pasta, risotti, focaccia, etc) w/ over 60 recent vintages, all high-quality and accessibly priced. Also available: pricier reserve bottles like the 1995 Tenuta dell' Ornellaia, which "at twelve years old, is now ready to drink". (Pederast.)
Gear: Sample Sale
50-80% off leather jackets, outerwear, sweaters, and gloves from Zegna, Ellesse, Levi's, and Diesel -- quite the flossy look, compared to your barrel of crude.
Gear: Ork Posters
Instead of subway maps and cartoon-y "Only in New York" prints, grab this typographic depiction of NYC nabes. Manhattan posters are available w/ free priority shipping, but Brooklyn's already sold out and totally doesn't talk to its old friends anymore.
Service: Sticht
Send these uptown blanketistas your old tees (concert, sports, etc) and they'll repurpose them into handmade quilts, pillowcases, or duvet covers -- because nothing brings pleasant dreams like sleeping under "F*ck You, You F*cking F*ck".
