The List

Food: Shalizar

Shalizar

From the Persepolis guys, Shalizar's a roomy, exposed-brick Persian bistro plating up traditional Middle Eastern fare, e.g., Khorest Ghormeh Sabzi (baby lamb and veggies) and Mahi Sefid (white fish filet over baghali polo). Drinks-wise, Shalizar's pouring old world wines, pomegranate cocktails (mojitos, margaritas, and martinis), and wild berry-infused vodkas steeped for six months before serving -- so you can impress everyone by declaring, "The nose says January 2008, but the peppery finish is very December, 2007".

Shalizar delivers, too. Check the full menu

Shoes and Free Booze

Hit this shoe boutique/gilded lothario's den for 15% off premium footwear, plus gratis Belvedere cocktails, hot shaves, and mad Wii playing. The night's hosted by Giants RB Reuben Droughns -- or perhaps he's just there to get out of the heat?

Grooming: The Shave of New York

The Shave of New York

A two-chair, LES-chic barbershop from the family behind Grand Central's Francesco's, Shave offers everything from coife cuts, to hot-towel moustache/goat trims, to Lex-Lutherian dome-cleanings. Shave also makes out-calls to special events like parties and weddings, and hawks Euro grooming lotions (TrueFitt & Hill, Taylor of Old Bond Street) that're free of alcohol (good for faces, bad for weddings).

Drink: Free Balvenie and Pool Lessons

Free Balvenie and Pool Lessons

John Allan's Tribeca is offering complimentary tastings of Balvenie scotch (12, 15, 17yo Sherry Oak, 21yo), plus 25% off JA's bath products. Also on hand: a billiards specialist to demo trickery like the Scramble Shot and "Three Balls in One Stroke", YouTube vids of which gained stunning popularity from the clicking of soon-to-be-disappointed pervs.
