Food: Hundred Acres
Opening in the former Provence space, and from the Cookshop/Five Points peeps, this blonde-wooded, subway-tile-walled American bistro sports an enclosed, sun-lit back garden ideal for the all-weather enjoyment of their bourbon & mint iced teas and vodka lemonades. Fresh ingredients in the daily-changing menu (grass-fed burgers, chicken-fried rabbit w/ potato salad & walnut honey) are mostly sourced from neighborhood markets, as Hundred's committed to livin' la vida locavore.
Drink: Unlimited Free Cocktails
Hit this U. Square bistro for gratis appetizers and unlimited cocktails made with Izze, the sparkling juice inspiration behind N W/out A's critically-neglected single, "Izze Duz It".
Wow: Playboy Playmate YouTube Submissions
To find their 55th Anniversary Playmate, Playboy's soliciting 2-minute YouTube submissions, which so far include scantily-clad locals like Brooklyn's allinadpenta (vet assistant, teaches Latin/Cuban dance), Long Island's ILPP213 (mother of 2, likes lingerie), and Jersey's debbiedoll77, whose prodigious mathematical abilities ("I'm 24 plus 10 years old") belie her sense of proportion ("I like the little things. Like nature.").
Gear: Jon Gray Tees
This debut line from NY-based Jon Gray is eclectically graphic'd with disarmament imagery, e.g., dismantled handguns, Strangelove shout outs, and an ornate flintlock pistol that shoots flowers in lieu of bullets (public enemy #1 in Bloomberg's "Mayors Against Gun Violets" initiative).
Culture: Spam Art
Check these hilariously literal artistic interpretations of spam subject lines, e.g., "hi pyramid in your pants eat a strip and be like an egyptian god" (hieroglyphics on a steak), "I hope your thing is as big as a camel's buy" (camel kissing a woman), and "girls like when it big" (cupcakes, thank the Lord).
Win: JetVegas
Ten days left to sign up for a shot at JetVegas: a seat aboard an exclusive flight out to a massive shindig at Las Vegas's Mirage. If you've already signed up, sign up one more time, and you can get an extra ball in the Lottery -- possibly setting up your franchise for a decade of stunning success.
