New York

807 Classon Ave, at St. John's Place; 718.399.3200

From the gal behind the WV's Camaje, this wifi'd-up cafe w/ basement live music lounge is serving breakfast and small-plate lunch/dinner like kobe beef burgers, smoked mac 'n cheese, and herbed-chèvre-stuffed Peppadew -- a recently discovered, spicy/sweet South African delicacy whose raging success only furthers our crippling dependence on foreign fruit.

Thru Sat at 1076 3rd Ave, at 64th, and 2009 Broadway, at 69th; 212.751.6177

Up to 70% off select designer sunglasses, including Fendi, Prada, Paul Smith, and Christian Roth (apparently, David Lee is no longer running with the devil).

9pm-12am Tuesdays at Hill Country: 30 W 26th St, between Broadway and 6th; 212.255.4544

Thirty bones gets you all you can drink beer (Dos Equis, Blue Moon, etc) plus call cocktails and shots (under $9) at Hill Country's downstairs bar, which is taking a mountain climber's approach to drinking specials ("Why Tuesday? Because it's there.").

12-9pm Sat on Stone Street, between Hanover Square and Broad; 212.482.0400

Hit this sprawling outdoor fest for many beers, plus grub from nine Stone Street restos, including Ulysses' Folkhouse (gyros with tzatziki, lobster rolls), Beckett's (tuna melts, skirt steak sandos), and taco/burrito guys Mad Dog & Beans -- whose name takes one small step down the drunkenness ladder, from writers to hobos.

1st and 3rd Mondays at Manitoba's: 99 Ave B, between 6th and 7th; 212.982.2511

This free, informal, bi-monthly league hosts nights for both amateurs (1st Mon's) and "pros" (3rd Mon's), who you're almost as likely to know the names of as professional ice hockey players.

Warm weather's coming to Vegas, bringing with it lavish pools, umbrella'd cocktails, and a seasonal switch to Caribbean Stud. Sign up for Thrillist Las Vegas -- with weekly updates on the newest spots to gorge, booze, and carouse, it's a better way to get your groove back than getting busy with Taye Diggs.
