Serving up French-inspired Turkish cuisine (lobster-stuffed artichoke, skewered swordfish), Sav's a spacious, bronze-bar'd and brass-bedecked resto located directly across from the Queensboro bridge onramp -- which will lead to you humming, "Across from the bridge Uptown, is where I ate some smoky aubergine stew..."

Check this nostalgic timeline of NY-based videogame plots and characters, from classic arcades (Brooklyn-based Mario Bros), to 8-bit Nintendo faves (Mike Tyson's Punch Out), to the movie-theater staple Crazy Taxi, which despite its insanity offered more compelling character development than Jimmy Fallon's plain old Taxi.

3:30-7:30pm Sat at 25 W 51st St, between 5th and 6th; 212.265.8824

Conveniently right across the street from an OTB, Johnny's celebrating the Derby on three 150-inch screens, with $5 mint juleps and free Belmont Stakes tickets to whoever wears the best derby hat. Also in the mix, a Jack Daniels single-barrel julep served in a tin cup for $100, though odds are 20:1 that your C-note will go to 20 regular juleps.

Like energon cubes but filled with refuse, these 5x8in hermetically sealed, signed, and numbered works are filled with authentic NY street garbage, e.g., cube #163 (Kit Kat wrapper, Marlboro box, string) and cube #162 (coffee cup, mixed nuts bag, lotto ticket). Newly available: cubes filled w/ trash collected from Yankee Stadium's and Shea's final opening days -- halcyon spring afternoons when the trash was full of promise.
