Every Sunday for the next four months, the Port Authority brasserie will turn into a face-stuffing seafood fest. For variety, the style of mussel'll change monthly (Mariniere, Dijonaise, Diablo, Provencal) -- and at only $19.95, the deal's affordable even for people who ride buses.

Starting tomorrow, Barney's is knocking 50-75% off designer clothing, shoes, accessories, and "gifts for the home" (i.e., useless crap that if someone gave to you would quickly become "re-gifts for the homeless").

T. Yam's newly installed, hoaxy taxidermy exhibit depicts mythical creatures, deformed humans, and other dream-haunting oddities. Most horrifying's his Chupacabra (a legendary Mexican monster once feared for its bloodsucking) but don't count out the canned Jackalope (a legendary antlered rabbit now feared for its botulism).

As likely to go to Coney as you are to visit a public library? See the grotesqueries at SideShowWorld.com.

This Valentine's, don't drink away your loneliness with Drano. Instead, seek sweet oblivion with a "Drink Alone", a delicious, appropriately bitter cocktail created by NYC master mixologist Junior Merino. It'll wash the pain away -- even if it does little to drain the festering swamp collecting in your shower.
1 1/2oz Basil Hayden's Bourbon
1/2oz Amaro Averna Liqueur
1/2oz Peach Schnapps
1oz Fresh Mandarin Juice
Put ingredients in a shaker (the bourbon, amaro, and schnapps can be had at most liquor stores, the mandarin juice at Whole Foods). Shake and strain into a cocktail or martini glass, garnish with a lemon twist. Cry, but just a little.
