The List

Events: Historic NBA Draft (with scotch)

7:30 tonight at 31 W 19th St, between 5th and 6th

Tonight, sports fanatic/artiste No Mas hosts a mock draft of every NBA lottery pick from '85-'95, with the action centered around his original portraits of the 105 famous/infamous selections. Lucky attendees'll walk away with a portrait, and there's also free Dewars and Tiger Beer (the only way Robert "Tractor" Traylor could ever get drafted a second time).

Space is extremely limited. RSVP to BigCountry@nomas-nyc.com

Drinks: Wells Ales and Lagers

303 Bedford Ave, between S 1st and S 2nd (Brooklyn); 718.963.3435

Focusing on independent brewers, this hops paradise features ten draughts and 75 hard-to-find bottles ranging from Pennsylvania's "Sly Fox Saison" to Oudenaarde, Belgium's "Liefmans Goudenband". You can also buy beer to-go, ideal for "independent drinkers".

Gear: Century 21 Sale

Thru July at all locations

Up to 75% off everything from suits to socks -- the only hitch being C21's lack of dressing rooms, leaving you to guesstimate how many sock-knots'll fit into the crotch of the Versace suit you're eying.

Food/Drinks: Mercat's Downstairs Lounge

45 Bond St, between Lafayette and Bowery; 212.529.8600

Mercat's walk-in-only downstairs offers wine, sangria, and a daily-changing menu of finger food, which you're expected to eat without silverware, much like a meerkat. (This makes no sense, but meerkats are always funny, even when Thrillist is not.)
