The List

Culture: Tiny Superheroes
Thru tomorrow at Ennagon Gallery: 50 Greene St, between Broome and Grand; 212.343.0055

Hit Italian artist Alessandro Cidda's U.S. debut for weirdly intimate, completely awesome extreme up-close pics of action figure miniatures, from Batman, to The Crow, to Jenna Jameson -- the hot plastic face your Ken doll tries to imagine while fruitlessly wailing away on Trend Forecaster Barbie.

Gamble: MGM Grand at Foxwoods
Mashantucket, CT; 866.646.0050

An 825-room hotel casino connected to Foxwoods by covered walkway, the MGM boasts 53 table games, 1,400 slots, an Asian-themed nightclub (Shrine), and a huge massage/wellness center called the G-Spa -- which, much to the frustration of female guests, you will wander around for hours trying to find.

Gear: 80% Off at Steven Alan
Thurs thru Sun at 87 Franklin St, between Broadway and Church; 212.343.0692

Up to 80% off premium cardigans, tees, jeans, and button-downs from Alan's own collection, plus gear from Relwen -- who has defeated the wicked god Loki to bring you Ohio's finest casual-wear.

Drink: Origine
71 Spring St, between Lafayette and Crosby; 212.966.5050

FROG (nee FR.OG) has lounged up their basement with a redecoration (white tiled floors, plush orange banquets), a classic cocktails menu, and, most importantly, a separate entrance unconnected to the restaurant and its freewheeling use of punctuation.

Service: Dog Addiction
243 Berry St, between Grand and N 1st; 718.599.1656

This two-story hound hotel offers essential services (walking, grooming, training), plus one monster stereo: a 33,000-track, 5-speaker JBL surround system that plays 24/7 in order to "influence pack behavior" via artists both rest-inducing (Barry Manilow, Sufjan Stevens) and rockin' (The Doors -- how can dogs not respect a frontman who always had his snausage out?).
