Molly Crabapple's throwing a one-year anniversary party for her debauched figure-painting classes, wherein novice portraitists chug booze while attempting to capture not-dressed burlesquers. The birthday bash'll feature music, go-go dancers, a giant naked lady cake, and a performance by the disturbingly male-yet-buxom "The World Famous Bob". Slices of cake are free. Fortunately, slices of The Bob are not.

The words "new midtown brasserie" might not cause your heart to thump out of your chest, but a house meatloaf made with veal, beef, and shitake mushrooms should at least dent your ribcage. You could go with the standby (steak frites), but between the young cow and the old cow, the 'loaf is the shitake.
