239 W. Broadway, at N. Moore; 212.219.2777

From the Tribeca Grill and Atlas guys, this modern Frog boite (branch-embossed white walls, brass pipe chandeliers) plates up unique meats like lamb neck, the shark-like cobia w/ black olive tapenade, and foie gras w/ beet borscht gelee. They're starting out with a select French-only wine list (Bonneau du Martray 1996, Henri Jayer Echezeaux Grand Cru 2001...), but'll soon allow customers making reservations the option of special ordering any bottle found on the website of Crush Wine & Spirits -- Drew Nieporent's shop, though it sounds like Krushchev's, or perhaps Andre The Giant's.

50 9th Ave, between 14th and 15th; 212.924.1971

Hit this gearsmithery for its eponymous, Great Depression-chic collection (double-zippered leather riding jackets, wool melton shooting blazers, heavy merchant's jackets, etc), plus bi-fold wallets and money clips from Property Of. Most goods are displayed on a non-moving, glass-topped, 30-foot conveyor belt which, if turned on, will almost certainly propel them towards a villain's choice of compaction, shredding, magma-hot molding, or Ice-Pirates-style castration.

Thru Oct 12th at 282-284 Bowery, at Houston

From British street art gallery Lazarides, this pop-up showspace is displaying work from famous outdoor artists (graffers The Faile Collective, oil-based painter David Choe, etc), plus $20 prints of the most excellent piece: a Paris Hilton portrait composed entirely of image bits from wank mags, with 69% of the proceeds sent directly to the heiress herself -- compensation for the money she never made from getting RickRolled.

Available at AC Gears: 69 E. 8th St, at Broadway; 212.260.2269

Perfect for the enthusiastically untalented, this Rock Band-esque mini guitar neck sports buttons corresponding to basic chords and emits infrared beams which, when strummed, produce said sound. The air axe even includes buttons for switching between major, minor, even diminished chords, which the Air's diminished musicians will have never heard of.

Originally intending to enter a since-cancelled art parade, these Bueller "Twist and Shout" scene recreators're now marching in the Halloween Parade, and're seeking collaborators to impersonate all relevant extras (newsboy-cap-wearing breakdancers, Jewish banker triplets, etc). Bonus: one co-organizer's the spitting image of Mia Sara, before Timecop had its way with her.

Thru Oct 15th at SideBAR, Pourhouse (Downtown & UWS), Vintage Irving, and The Big Easy
