The List

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?

Gear: Furniture 80% Off

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.

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."
